An essay using research: on an environmental issue, or health issue --mental, physical. Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: What are your learning outcomes for this session? For students to learn about key word searches; how to narrow a topic, shaping research in relation to what they locate and how their interests develop as they search and read; how to find academic journal articles and reputable, informational, non-commercial websites. Other notes: I prefer that the library instructor explain only a few research strategies, as noted above; and pace her/his remarks so students work independently after a step has been explained; then the instruction continues, after stopping to let students do some of the work.

Assignment description and sample topics: The students are writing a final, argumentative research paper that is 8+ pages in length and uses a minimum of one print source. The students will have turned in topic proposals the week prior and should know their research needs. Attached is the assignment. Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: cottrell.wr122.final_.2013.docx: http://www.pcc.edu/library/sites/default/files/webform/assignments/cottrell.wr122.final_.2013.docx
What are your learning outcomes for this session? Students should become familiar with library tools, develop an understanding of the value in working with a research librarian when tracking down useful articles, and to quickly identify peer-reviewed sources.
Ideally, students should leave with several leads they might follow for the final paper.

Assignment description and sample topics: Students, 23 of them, are embarking on a long research project of 12-15 pages. Topics vary from informative to argumentative in nature, but often are deeper investigations into their discipline of focus. The course is constructed to give them experience in writing a longer research paper. An orientation on available and relevant databases, citation engines and proper citation format, proper and truncated search methods, some of the best resources available in Sylvania library and their locations, and other research-related topics would be excellent. Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: assignment.docx: http://www.pcc.edu/library/sites/default/files/webform/assignments/assignment.docx
What are your learning outcomes for this session? All of the above are terrific. I've listed more in the sample topics section and am open to librarian's outcomes and specialties as well. Other notes: The students and I thank you for doing this! I will have to submit the actual assignment prompt later, as I don't have it available at this computer.
