PRIMO site of the month: Research Tracker

The latest PRIMO (Peer-Reviewed Instructional Materials Online) Site of the Month is Research Tracker produced by Jacalyn Kremer and Wit Messangnil (Fairfield University, USA). This site "gives students a framework by which to navigate the complex stages of research and writing and avoid last-minute research panic. This flexible tool can be used in conjunction with face-to-face instruction, in the online learning environment, or independently. Key features include: the calculation of steps with assigned due dates that can be migrated to a student's calendar; the ability to store documents and research in one place; customized content suggestions based on assignments; Creative Commons Licensing." The research tracker is at http://librarybestbets.fairfield.edu/researchtracker and an interview with the producers at http://www.ala.org/acrl/aboutacrl/directoryofleadership/sections/is/iswebsite/projpubs/primo/site
