A Library Orientation Lesson
Click on the link below to be taken to a version of a library lesson created by the librarians at the Sojourner Truth Library. Some students may have seen this lesson, but others may not. Feel free to use all or part of the lesson in tutoring:
Scholarship as Conversation
This video is regularly shown in ENG170 to help students to understand that when they write a research paper, they are entering into a conversation with other scholars. It might be helpful to review it during a tutoring session and to ask students if they had ever thought about the fact that their roles have shifted from high school students, to junior scholars.
Plagiarism Tutorial:
This tutorial may be useful to use with students to reinforce lessons about how to incorporate information from outside sources into their own writing. Link to “Plagiarism Tutorial” created by the University Libraries at the University of Southern Mississippi.
