Comments

I like this worksheet, thanks for sharing. I was wondering - how does this worksheet get incorporated into library instruction? Do you discuss what students found between each task?

This is great. It encourages critical thinking and actual engagement with material. I will use this as an extra credit assignment (as is) for my 1 credit hour Library Resources online class. I added your name, affiliation, & year of pub to the document.
