| Library instruction for DE 21 / Ethan Bull (RS) |
| |
Instructor name: Ethan Bull Students refer to me as: Ethan Instructor e-mail: ethan.bull@pcc.edu Instructor phone: 971-998-0789 Instructor location: Rock Creek Preferred contact: e-mail Course subject: Developmental Education - DE Course number: 21 Course CRN: 12759 Number of Students: 25 ADA provisions needed: no Preferred Date: 2013-02-19 Preferred Time: 9:00 am Alternate Date: Alternate Time: Duration: 50Minutes Do you need time to discuss non-library matters with your class on the day of library instruction? Yes If yes please specify: Maybe just 2-3 minutes for attendance & to get them settled Assignment description and sample topics: Same as previous request--students will be deeper into the process of investigating their research topic at this point. Topics based on information needs of students. Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: What are your learning outcomes for this session? Develop search strategies with databases and how to evaluate the results. Other notes: As previously, working with Robin Shapiro, due to her familiarity, would be useful. Students will begin exploring their research topics via databases at this point and I'd love Robin or another librarian to work with the students to explore their options and help them navigate the search and keyword process.

| WR 227 / Jason Stiffler |

No librarian needed - late request
Instructor name: Jason Stiffler Students refer to me as: Jason Instructor e-mail: jason.stiffler@pcc.edu Instructor phone: 503-867-2723 Instructor location: Rock Creek Preferred contact: e-mail Course subject: Writing - WR Course number: 227 Course CRN: 17856 Number of Students: 30 ADA provisions needed: no Preferred Date: 2013-02-19 Preferred Time: 2:00 pm Alternate Date: Alternate Time: Duration: 110Minutes Do you need time to discuss non-library matters with your class on the day of library instruction? No If yes please specify: Assignment description and sample topics: This is the exercise I always do with my students: the research scavenger hunt. Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: scavenger.pdf: http://www.pcc.edu/library/sites/default/files/webform/assignments/scavenger.pdf
What are your learning outcomes for this session? - Familiarizing students with multiple databases - Introducing students to non-library sources of strong information - Improving critical reasoning skills in testing reliability - Understanding reliability - Efficient use of library database resources - use of third party watchdogs like the Annenberg Classroom to test non-library materials. Other notes: As is, I fear, too often the case, I'm making this request with too little lead time. I'm simultaneously checking with Jeff Wilson in case the library instruction room is unavailable. (Or, if coming in with so little warning, I'm just simply out of luck, prima facie.) So, what I'm saying is that if I can't get into the library tomorrow, it's entirely my own fault.

No If yes please specify: Assignment description and sample topics: Information Literacy project. I will have introduced the project, but students will need instruction in appropriate topics for research (briefly), how to perform searches, and resources available. I want them to consider the credibility of their sources as well. Plus, any other related instruction is always appreciated! I can send the assignment to the librarian ahead of time. In fact, I may send an early version for suggestions before finalizing it. I am not attaching the docs now, because this is pretty far out and I haven't finalized the assignment yet. I generally require an annotated bibliography as the final product, but I want them to go through the steps as though they were going to write a research paper.
Let me know if you have any questions! And I'm happy to hear any suggestions. Thank you! Upload class assignment and other relevant documents: What are your learning outcomes for this session? All of those listed above!
