Writing and Library Research Methods

LIB 170 fulfills the College Writing 2 requirement and builds on the work of English 110 (College Writing 1), in order to teach the conventions of writing in the discipline of the Library. In this variable topics course, students will engage in the research practices and writing valued in one discipline or specific area of inquiry. Students will acquire practical strategies for finding and using academic information within a particular context, in addition to improving their information literacy in a more general sense. The course includes several research and writing assignments, including an annotated bibliography and a formal research paper (or a discipline-appropriate equivalent).
