How Librarians Can Help With Assessment Design

Whenever you assign a research project, you can work with a librarian to guide students towards appropriate search tools and techniques, tools and tutorials for citing their sources properly, and information on how to evaluate sources for quality and reliability. The library can also help with smaller assignments, non-traditional assignments, and even discussion posts. Our goal is to improve learning outcomes by providing students with better resources and reducing their cognitive overload with searching, so that they can focus on the learning objectives of the course. If your course needs to meet the information literacy gen ed requirement, consulting a librarian can be a great way make that happen without having to re-organize your content.
