Presentation Description

Undergraduate students need to be able to know how to find information, know when they need more to complete a given task and evaluate the appropriateness of what they’ve found. Librarians must partner with classroom faculty in order to introduce students to these ideas and then the concepts must be reinforced throughout the student’s college career. These are critical collaborations. The presenters will describe a project where such a partnership occurred.
