Ideas for Librarian Course Dev Consultations Checklist

Please add other ideas to this list (there are a couple from our meeting that I couldn't remember) for a checklist for the course dev consultations:

  • Link to a section of the Writer's Complex or other tutorial that discusses the assignment type and samples of that type of assignment (examples: Types of Papers and Sample Papers via File Cabinet)
  • For starting research paper assignments, link to Developing a Research Question page.
  • For business courses, look at Conference Board Business Knowledge Powerpoints and Webcasts as possible multimedia resources.
  • For policy/social issue course/topics: look at CQ Researcher and Opposing Viewpoints
  • Construct an RSS feed to embed in course (e.g., can use Feedo to combine multiple feeds into one)
  • Link to existing Subject Guide or suggest creating a new one (via LibGuides?) to embed into course
  • IH: Embed search widget into appropriate place in course. For example, a discussion topic is brought up about a new term yet to be defined in course. Search widget could be placed in discussion and contain search box with:
    dictionary AND
    or
    encyclopedia AND
    already filled in for student. It could link to credo, for example.
