Guidelines for Creating Effective Library Assignments

Throughout the summer, Grasselli Library is keeping the John Carroll University community informed of the new online resources and services now available through the library web pages. This fall, students will find that their access to full-text and bibliographic databases has greatly expanded. As faculty prepare for fall classes, now is an excellent time to consider or to reconsider a library-related assignment.

We've created some guidelines that can help make library assignments more effective. These guidelines were developed by librarians for creating more effective library-related assignments. The information is based on experiences we have had with helping students. Also included are some links to sample assignments and to Web evaluation criteria. We hope you will find these guidelines helpful.

Grasselli Library librarians are available to help. Contact your departmental liaison or the reference desk at x4234.
