Infolit tutorial of the month: Y Search

The latest PRIMO site of the month is Y Search, produced by Elise Silva and Leanna Fry-Balci. Y Search is "a website produced by library instructors at Brigham Young University for use in blended learning instruction with First-Year Writing (FYW) classes.... Y Search currently has four modules: background research, topic development, search strategies, and source evaluation. As the need for more instruction increases, librarians hope to expand Y Search to include other modules like critical reading strategies and synthesizing information." There is an interview with the authors at http://acrl.ala.org/IS/instruction-tools-resources-2/pedagogy/primo-peer-reviewed-instruction-materials-online/primo-site-of-the-month/may-2017-site-of-the-month/
