Extra Credit: Survey



Hi Folks. I'd really appreciate your feedback on the class. So much so that I'm offering extra credit.

I'm especially interested in your input about the format of the class (the brief meeting sessions w/open lab from 1-2, the blogging, the online activities, etc.).

Here's the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=575263437742

Then, email me and let me know you did it, and I'll add a point to your total grade for the quarter.

The deadline for survey completion is: Friday, 3/23

Final Class Quiz!

This quarter really flew by! Tomorrow is our last class, and as I emailed you earlier, I recommend that you look through the class handouts (posted here on the blog) and also the LIBY 1210 delicious links, which are neatly tagged by topic and week:
http://del.icio.us/liby1210

Your exam will consist of 20 questions worth half a point each, for a total of 10 points.

Things to review:

1. Library of Congress call numbers and subject headings (what they are & how they work--you don't need to know what specific call numbers mean)

2. APA format (general rules)

3. Characteristics of scholarly books and journals

4. Search engines & Databases (how to use them and when)

5. Tags vs. Subject Headings

6. Boolean Operators (AND, OR & NOT)

7. Web Site Evaluation
