a recommended list of library resources for your class
assignment
Last year we offered “online librarian” assistance in several classes. Although questions were few, surveys showed that students did make use of recommended library resources. Based on that experience, we are offering a modified version of this outreach this fall. Working with Lacey Benns-Owens, Candace Warner, and Stuart Lenig, we have reviewed assignments in several of their classes and provided them with a list of recommended library resources (both print and electronic) that can be posted on their WebCT pages. The list is flexible so that faculty can add or remove recommended resources as they wish. If you would like a recommended list of library resources for projects that your students are working on, contact Kathy Breeden, 931-540-2555, breeden@columbiastate.edu.
