Registration is open for the webinar “Do As I Say: Authenticity in Teaching Research Practices and Information Literacy”. It will take place on Thursday, July 10, at 11:00 AM CDT.
When starting a research project, do you always develop a list of keywords and synonyms before you search? Have you ever cited a source without reading the entire article? Do you always spend a significant amount of time evaluating each source you find?
When instructors and librarians teach students how to conduct research, we often outline specific steps that students should take and provide guidelines they should follow. But, do we always follow these steps or guidelines ourselves? If we don’t, why not? And what does that mean for the way we teach research and information literacy?
This presentation will explore the idea of authenticity in relation to how we teach the research process. Participants will be encouraged to think about how we can approach teaching research and information literacy as it often is, rather than what we think it should look like.
The presenter is Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian at The Ohio State University Libraries.
To register, please go here. This webinar is part of a free information literacy virtual presentation series offered through The Ohio State University Libraries. All are welcome to attend. Participants can use attendance at these presentations to earn the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate being offered by the Libraries’ Teaching & Learning Department.
