Pre-Search to Research: Credo as “Academic Google”
Learning Outcome
In this webinar, we will explore how to:
Promote “One-Shot” instruction as a two part workshop.
Incorporate student comfortability and convenience as a tool for student engagement and research buy-in.
Develop a shared platform of accountability for librarians and faculty as partners in student retention and scholarship.
Presentation Workflow
Phase I: “Pre-Search” | Phase II: “Research” | Phase III: “The Credo Effect”
“Pre-Search”Learning Outcome: Revision “One-Shot” instruction as
a two part workshop.
Project Information Literacy Findings:
College libraries are far larger and more complex than high school libraries.
It is daunting to conduct online searches for academic literature for the first time.
Most freshmen find their research competencies from high school are inadequate for college work.

Putting Your Skills to Use
This interactive presentation will walk you through the process of collecting appropriate resources for use in a research paper or project using open web and library tools. You will also have the opportunity to print or save the materials that you collect throughout the exercise.
Hybrid Model
Credo provides a variety of library tutorials that focus on the research process, how to write a paper, study skills, and presentation tools and techniques.
These tutorials are easily embedded into blackboard and can be used as a reinforcement resource for professors.
Pre-search to Research
A two part library instruction workshop that focus on research support. In the pre-search workshop students “unpack” their topics and focus on the research process. In the Research Workshop, students explore library databases and other resources to support their informational need.

The 4 “R’s” of Research using Credo
Realization Redirecting Refining Reflection
RealizationWe know that students cannot begin to do their research without being made aware of ALL the resources they will have access to.
Awareness
Resource Matching
Discovery Expansion
Information Need Identification
Time Management
Answers:
WHAT Howard University has…
WHERE resources are located…
HOW to access them…
RedirectingWe have the students conduct a simple search on Google using their keyword search terms that they formed in the “Pre-Search Process”.

Reflection
“We do not learn from experience … we learn from on experience.” - John Dewey
01 02 03 04
Students reflect on their KEYWORDS from their brainstorming practice.
Students reflect on the visual aid that displays all of the RESOURCES that Howard University offers.
Students reflect on their ROAD MAP to give them a navigation into their topics.
Students can now feel comfortable with starting in Google and moving to Credo, and knowing what elements to look for.
“The Credo Effect”Learning Outcome: Develop a shared
platform of accountability for librarians and faculty as partners in student retention and scholarship.

• Strengthens General Education.
• Competencies and Student Scholarship.
Library Value Added
• To expand role as collaborative educational partners.
Next Steps
The Credo Effect
• Cultivate Curiosity in Research.
• Increase comfort in academic research and
independent learning.
Student Voices
• Research Improvement in Curriculum.
• Alignment to Curriculum.
Faculty Buy-In
Student VoicesCultivating curiosity
“Most students admitted that they had never used library databases to conduct research. Indeed, most rarely even enter
the library to take advantage of the wealth of resources available to them.”
Cultivating curiosity requires taking risks and allowing time for student innovation.
Steps to flex the curiosity muscle:
• Reframe "boring" situations.
• Promote Exploration and Experimentation.
• Support Questioning.
Student Voices
“ I am equally as thrilled with the opportunity to have a second session during which the students will focus on specific
databases and have time for searches.”
Increase comfort in academic research and independent learning.
Steps to achieve independent learning:
• Model and release.
• Build in time for play and process.
• Support student thinking.
Increase comfort in academic research
Faculty Buy-In and EngagementResearch Improvement in the curriculum
“I am so glad that the library is moving in a direction
that meets our students where they are and moves them
to understand the need for critical thinking using a
step-by-step process for researching. In Ms.
McKenzie's words, "pre-search for research" is an
excellent approach for our students.”
Research Improvement in the curriculum:
• Use libguides as a collorbative tool for
curriculum design and development.
• Identify the problems and highlight the
library as the solution.
• Build respectful relationship with trust and
accountability practices.
Faculty Buy-In and EngagementAligning to Curriculum
“Helping the students focus on their topic and what they need to
know, i.e. a broad knowledge of their topic and narrowing the
topic through the research process fits right into the theory they are reading about in the textbook.”
Curriculum collaboration:
• Bridging the gap between the information literacy standards and course learning outcomes.
• Creating an instructional plan as a collaborative tool for library instruction and faculty buy-in.
• Establish a dedicated website for disseminating library resources.
Library Value Added
“Most students admitted that they had never used the library
databases to conduct research. Indeed, most rarely even
enter the library to take advantage of the wealth of resources
available to them.”

coursework.
• Library use increases students success.
• Collaborative academic programs and services involving the
library enhance student learning.
• Information literacy instruction strengthens general
education outcomes.
• Library research consultations boost student learning.
Next Steps & Action Items
“Needless to say, your workshops have transformed the
kind of research my students are beginning to conduct
and I look forward to having many more students benefit
from your instruction in the future!”
Facilitate the next steps of transitioning library instruction.
• Develop Sessions for professional development.
• Improve our team teaching practices.
