The Library and Literature for Chemists
Designing Instruction Activities to Guide Students through the Research Lifecycle: A Science Librarian Approach
A set of PowerPoint slides (part1-part3) presented by Ye Li at the 246th American Chemical Society National Meeting, Indianapolis, IN. The presentation highlighted the importance of going beyond traditional information literacy scope and expanding science librarians' role in instructions to guide students throughout the research lifecyle. A three levels (first/second-year undergraduates,junior/senior undergraduates and graduate students) curriculum design is depicted and described in the presentation. |
