14. Take Aways Consider a separate research component assignment (apart from the full paper) Consider working with librarians and tailor an Information Literacy instruction class with the assignment or the research paper Consider using a research worksheet (supplied in packet)

15. Student Feedback - How will the class benefit your future ability to find quality information sources in your academic and daily life? It will benefit me in the future because I don't have to constantly Google search things and it's a faster way to research, in my opinion It helped my research become easier. I do not have to really worry about the sources being credible, being that the library has already done that for me. I personally can look up the book instead of asking the front desk and it will help me with my citations.
