RESEARCH SKILLS Film Project

Guiding questions:

       a - What typical use is made of the college library by your classes (perhaps  
               example(s) of a research project you might assign)?  What is the role of the
               librarian in the process?

          b - What are your expectations in regards to quality of information sources? 
               Subtopics could include: peer reviewed material / print resources / online
               resources / databases (online, CD ROM) / number of sources used /
               research notes or rough drafts of work / citation of sources.

          c - What is your policy in regarding plagiarized words and ideas?  What is the
               policy of the college?  How do you know when/if something is plagiarized?

          d - Ideally, what research skills would you like 1st year college students to come
               equipped with (that they often don’t have)?
