Library Support for FYE Assignments

In line with FYE program goals, library instruction will enable students to situate their learning as part of their personal growth and as part of a process of lifelong learning and college success.

The library session for FYE is designed to provide the students with hands on experience searching for and evaluating information resources for research.

Student Learning Outcomes for FYE Library Session

In order to complete their research assignments, students will learn how to:

  • Identify the types of resources needed for a research assignment.
  • Evaluate the validity of different kinds of resources.
  • Select different kinds of sources appropriate for use in an assignment.

The library can support your students with their research assignments by helping students learn how to find, evaluate, and use information sources in the research process.

Students are encouraged to come to the library reference desk or email a librarian and schedule an appointment to get help with all of their research needs.
