Q: What are the goals of the LLIB 1115--Introduction to Information Research course?
- Describe issues related to information literacy, including plagiarism, copyright, open access, and citing sources
- Select research topics for college-level courses
- Use research databases, library catalogs, and the Internet to find information
- Evaluate information sources based on their value for college-level research
- Demonstrate the researchprocess and document information correctly
- All of the above.
A: All of the above.
Feedback: Goals for this course: 1. Identify what kind and how much information is needed in order to get something done, like writing a college paper, starting a bee colony business, traveling to another country, and so forth. 2. Search, recognize, and find different types of sources in both digital and printed formats. Do this well and in a timely manner. Find credible sources that meet an information need. 3. Evaluate sources of information for their credibility. Explain why an author is qualified to write on a given topic, how a source answers a research question, why the currency of a source is or is not important, how you know a source contains accurate and honest information, and why the purpose matters. 4. Understand how money, ethics, laws, and society influence the creation, sharing, possession, as well as ownership and use of information. 5. Use information effectively and ethically to get something done. The final project will be an annotated bibliography and serve as evidence that you can effectively identify and find sources that address a specific research question. Summaries and documented references will show that you know how to evaluate information as well as use it ethically and legally.
