ZSR | July 5, 2011
Step 1: Needs Assessment
• What would you like your students to know?• What would you like your students to
understand? • What would you like your students to be able
to do?
• What are our goals?
LIB100 Goals• Learn how to determine the nature and extent of information needed
for identifying a research topic.• Become familiar with the strengths and limitations of different types of
information resources in order to access resources effectively.• Learn strategies for the critical evaluation of information in order to
evaluate the reliability of a resource and determine the biases that are inherent in a resource.
• Learn how to structure and implement research strategies in order to plan and execute an effective search.
• Acquire in-depth knowledge of library services and resources in order to be lifelong learners.
• Develop awareness of the legal, economic, political and social aspects of information resources in order to use information ethically.
