Description:
MSU Libraries strives to be both welcoming and inclusive in our physical spaces, as well as thoughtful, affirming and supportive of our students’ information literacy and research needs. To this end, the Information Literacy unit has been involved in hosting orientation workshops for a number of student success programs including TRIO, MRULE-ICA and SROP. The unit also regularly provides workshops for students in first-year writing classes or freshmen seminars. Join us, three librarians from the Information Literacy unit, as we share our impressions of student research anxiety and uncertainty and the importance of affirming their foundations of existing knowledge. Then participate in abbreviated versions of our workshops in “evaluating sources using the SIFT method” and “finding sources using the Libraries’ website.” Consider how your own students might benefit from similar instruction and a closer relationship with their MSU Libraries.
