LIB 101 - Research Foundations and Tutoring (1 Cr.)


This course teaches theory and practice of research tutoring through literature, reflective inquiry, and practical experience. Students will read and write about information literacy, research skills, and scholarly communication. Students will develop writing skills, research skills, listening and questioning techniques, and oral communication strategies. They will also study relevant literature on methods of interdisciplinary research support, reference interviews, and tutoring. Intersections with issues of race, power, and perspective as related to information creation and dissemination are at the core of the course. Practical tutoring applications will be included such as shadowing librarians, mock research tutoring activities, and reflections on one’s tutoring practice.
