A Mentor/Research Model to Teach Library Skills: An Introduction to Database Searching

Karen R. Nissen and Dr. Barbara A. Ross

T.H.E. Journal, Vol. 24, No. 2, September 1996, p. 96-98

This project was an exploration in combining subject content, critical-thinking skills, library skills, and interpersonal communication in searching library databases for information. Students are often confused when talking with researchers, and don't understand what kinds of information they should be trying to find. The results reinforce the need for librarians and faculty to continue to collaborate on providing opportunities to promote the skills in inquiry and the traditions of scholarship.
