Welcome!
Library 100 will help you to:
Find information in books, periodicals, reference sources, on the internet, and in other less common formats efficiently and effectively.
Evaluate the information you find in a number of ways, including how relevant it is to your research, how credible it is, how persuasive it is, how current it is, and other criteria.
Use a wide variety of compelling information strategically and ethically to support arguments in your assignments.
We will reflect together throughout the semester on how you use information to complete academic assignments and in your daily life.
