New OER: Introduction to College Research

[Smith, Kelsey]

We are pleased to announce a new OER textbook (and supplementary Canvas modules) for those teaching Information Literacy concepts:

 

Introduction to College Research

 

This book acknowledges our changing information landscape, covering key concepts in information literacy, including: algorithms and the attention economy, disinformation, information cynicism and information hygiene, fact-checking, source types, research topics, keyword choices and confirmation bias, search strategies, library databases, the ethical use of information, and citation.

 

The textbook and Canvas modules were created by a team of California Community College librarians (funded by the ASCCC OERI):

• Walter D. Butler (Pasadena City College)
• Aloha Sargent (Cabrillo College)
• Kelsey Smith (West Hills College Lemoore)
• Cynthia M. Cohen (Los Angeles Valley College)
• Cynthia Mari Orozco (East Los Angeles College)
• Xiaoyang Behlendorf (Los Angeles Valley College)

The team will be presenting these resources at the “New OER Resource Showcase” this Friday, March 5 at 10:30am.

Hi Kelsey, this is a very belated email reply 😂

Would you consider exporting your book and making those exports available via the home page (https://pressbooks.pub/introtocollegeresearch/)? That would enable it to be added to the Open Textbook Library, and in turn my faculty could write reviews of it. Let me know if this makes sense!

Thanks!

Amy
