The specifics of the classes vary by instructors, but students learn to select a topic, locate reference materials, scholarly books, scholarly journal articles and scholarly web sites relevant to their topic. Along the way students become familiar with the ZSR Library and its catalog, our online databases and sources of good scholarly information on the web. Students learn to cite sources appropriately in either MLA or APA style. Strong emphasis is given to learning to evaluate information to determine how appropriate it is for research and whether it is credible, scholarly information. Issues of copyright, plagiarism and the impact of the Internet on research are also covered.
Core (compulsory) modules provide a foundation in the central areas of information literacy and learning: Education for Information Literacy; Information Resources and Information Literacy; Information Retrieval: search engines and digital libraries; Educational Informatics; Information Literacy Research; and Research Methods. Optional modules enable you to further your understanding of particular work or sector contexts, or develop expertise in a specialist area of librarianship and information management. There is a wide choice of modules including: Electronic Publishing, modules focusing on specific library sectors, Business Intelligence, Health Information, and Human Computer Interaction. The dissertation allows you to pursue a topic of particular interest in more depth.
This course will introduce students to the organization, retrieval and evaluation of electronic and print information. Students will be provided with an overview of college library systems, networked information systems, traditional scholarly resources, evolving delivery systems, and the concepts underlying the research process. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of the Internet as a research tool and the changing nature of information resources. Students will utilize electronic databases, the World Wide Web, and print resources. Students will be able to apply principles learned in this course to research assigned in other courses. Students will practice thinking critically when formulating research queries and evaluating information resources.

This course is primarily about Information Literacy and Information Problem-Solving. Learning to use the software is secondary.
This course provides an introduction to techniques of information retrieval and information evaluation. Students completing this course will have the skills needed to locate and critically evaluate information, to think critically about research strategies, and to apply these concepts to undergraduate research using Library resources and the Internet.
Emphasis will be placed on your ability to formulate research plans, to evaluate and organize information, and to present it effectively and responsibly. Recognizing that professional writers in a range of organizations must locate and critically evaluate information from a wide range of sources, this course will help you develop the research skills you need, especially for working in non-academic settings (though academic sources may often be required in those settings). We will approach both research and writing as recursive, problem-solving processes, seeing research as an integral part of the writing process. The formulation of research plans and research questions will be set within the context of overall rhetorical planning for a piece of writing. You will be taught how to develop search strategies and techniques for using libraries, the Internet, and other sources including archival repositories. Special emphasis will be placed on the need to evaluate sources critically and methods for doing so, as well as on the ethical and legal issues involved.
