Integration of Information Literacy Components into a Large First-Year Lecture-Based Chemistry Course
Locknar, Angela; Mitchell, Rudolph; Rankin, Janet; Sadoway, Donald R.
Journal of Chemical Education, v89 n4 p487-491 Mar 2012
A first-year chemistry course is ideal for introducing students to finding and using scholarly information early in their academic careers. A four-pronged approach (lectures, homework problems, videos, and model solutions) was used to incorporate library research skills into a large lecture-based course. Pre- and post-course surveying demonstrated this to be effective and scalable way to teach these life-long skills, requiring minimal additional effort and time on the part of the lecturer.
