Description
Come examine how adding critical thinking components can meaningfully introduce the resources and services available through the library. Designing assignments with critical thinking components changes the focus from locating a thing to thinking about the relationship between things; between the topic and the key words that describe the idea; between the OPAC and the items on the shelf; between discovery and the quality of information. Examples will demonstrate how assignments emphasizing process and resourcefulness engage students to think through the search process and highlight the link between assignments and the various locations, services and resources needed.
Think critically: evaluate that information!
