"Ready Made" Learn
the Library Assignments - We have designed three fun “library practice”
assignments. These assignments will give your students experience in using
important library materials and in conferring with the reference librarians,
or experience in learning
to use the online library catalog, or experience in learning
how to locate articles from the subscription electronic databases. We update
these assignment every spring (or sooner, if something changes). We can e-mail
this assignment to you as an attachment for you to have printed for your students,
or you can ask for a copy at the Reference Desk. These assignments are better
than those “library treasure hunt” assignments that are often found in textbooks
and which never seem to work very well in our library. If you are teaching ESOL
we have designed a “library
practice” assignment with the special needs of ESOL students in mind.
