Beskrivning

Editors Marta Deyrup and Beth Bloom have brought together well-known educators from the fields of library science, communication, composition, and education to show you how to develop successful strategies for teaching undergraduates how to conduct basic research and write papers. Chapters cover each step of the research process, beginning appropriately with separate pieces from a librarian and from an academic on how to construct good research assignments. Following chapters cover establishing the research question, assessing the research process, information ethics and the protocols of research, and using new modes and media to communicate research findings. The book fully explores current theories on pedagogy and provides practical demonstrations of how library instruction can reinforce critical thinking and set the groundwork in place for life-long learning. Each chapter contains an extensive bibliography for further reading.

Recensioner i media

Editors Deyrup and Bloom (catalog coordinator and information literacy coordinator, respectively, Seton Hall Univ. Libs.) have assembled a rich group of contributors to provide a variety of perspectives on the subject of how to teach undergraduates some basic research strategies. There are pieces here by undergraduate faculty and by academic librarians, e.g., "Toward the 'Good' Research Assignment: An Academic Speaks," by Williamjames H. Hoffer in Seton Hall University's department of history, and "Toward the 'Good' Research Assignment: A Librarian Speaks," by Roberta Tipton, business and information literacy librarian at Rutgers University. Of particular interest are entries highlighting the dynamic ways in which technology is being incorporated into the student information-seeking process. For example, there are extensive descriptions of successful programs helping students become approved Wikipedia editors so as to gain research and online publishing experience. Chapters related to evaluation, developing effective relationships with faculty, and classroom activities round out the offerings. The notes section ending each entry will guide librarians who wish to explore each topic further. VERDICT A helpful work both for those new to research instruction and those looking to revitalize their approaches to engaging students.
