Thank you, Aisha, for sharing this assignment! I adapted and used it today, and it worked really well for a class of 9 students who were working on a 7-10 page research paper.

Adapters

Aisha Conner-Gaten (aisha.conner-gaten)

Adapted for an Education and Public Good course. Switched out databases to include ERIC, Proquest, etc. and noted that legislative documents may be impactful depending on the topic.

Robert Sieczkiewicz (Rob_Sieczkiewicz)

I adapted this for an upper-level anthropology class of primarily juniors and seniors. There were only 9 students in the class, so I skipped the post-it note exercise at the start. There was enough time for each student to work on their own topic with a partner. I also skipped the Five Point Tour since most of the students were familiar with core library resources and our research guides.

Adapt this assignment.
