As part of the center's educational mission, the staff of the Center for Intellectual Property along with Professor Laura (Lolly) Gasaway, the 2001-2002 Virtual Intellectual Property Scholar, develop this freely accessible Flash enabled interactive tutorial. First conceived as a print publication, it was believed that more people could be served by placing the content online
Students complete the tutorial prior to coming into the library, so librarians can spend the instruction session answering questions and allowing the students to actually get started with their research. Students can also use the tutorial to review their research skills at any point in their studies.
This tutorial cover: How do you combine multiple operators (AND, OR, NOT)? Do all databases combine operators the same way? When are parentheses needed?
This tutorial cover: Do I need to use a database? Do all databases contain the same information? Which database should I choose?
This tutorial cover: When should I use the Citation linker? What information is required? How do I access it? What options are available for each citation? Full Text Sage Library Catalog Interlibrary Loan
The Module is linked from Instructional Programs�?? web site as well as the Penn State Newspaper Readership Program web pages, which provides the tutorial additional visibility. Since the tutorial is in a formative beta phase at present, we intend to promote it more widely to specific classes on the Penn State campuses after current summative revisions have been completed this Fall. We wanted to encourage the reading of daily newspapers, separate from encouraging the activity of using news sources for research and information gathering.
Was created by the Western New York Library Resources Council, Storyboard Team. The team received grant funding through the Western New York Library Resources Council. The objective was to create a tutorial that would serve various types of libraries across Western New York, helping them to explore different methods of instruction and to reach out to users in exciting new ways. The tutorial depicts the story of a library user who is going through the process of locating information. In order to engage the user in the story, the tutorial includes audio, video, and gaming or assessment components, ultimately moving away from tutorials that are highly textual.
A Beginner's Guide to Business Research is an e-learning module designed specifically for students doing company research for the first time.

Information and the technologies that produce, manage, and disseminate it have been an integral part of American history. This course explores the historical development of information and related technologies in the United States from colonial times to the present. Students will research, explore, and analyze the adoption and use of various information and communications technologies in American history. Topics may include the use of printing during colonial times leading up to and during the American Revolution, the relationship between the railroad and telegraph in westward expansion, the role of information technologies in the industrial age, the role of radio and film during WWII, the impact of information processing machines on business practices, etc.
"Information Society" and "knowledge worker" have become catchwords of our time, symbolizing the importance of information to our society, culture, and economy. Implicit in the idea of "knowledge worker" and "information society" is the individual's capacity to use information within a given context. This course is about information: how it is created, organized, disseminated, and used with an emphasis on the impact of technologies as well as surrounding economic, legal, and social issues.
