College Handouts Don't Make the Grade
I can't say enough about the reports coming out of Project Information Literacy. Report #3, How Handouts for Research Assignments Guide Today's College Students, gives a detailed analysis of the information conveyed to students in research assignment handouts, compared to the needs of college students during their research processes (as determined in a prior study). It outlines how often specific resources are mentioned, including help from librarians. Very eye-opening and great fodder for developing more collaboration between librarians and faculty in designing research assignment descriptions.
