"When it comes to research, students may have received guidance over the course of their academic careers that is no longer effective. For example, students may have been told that domain (.org, .com) is an indicator of credibility for web resources. ... For the last two years, librarians from the University of New Mexico and The Ohio State University have been giving a series of presentations highlighting examples of outdated research guidance often given to students. In this session, participants will learn more about the concept of outdated research notions and explore several examples. A key focus will be on strategies that librarians and course instructors can use to start changing the conversation around outdated notions at their institutions, in order to ensure that students are being provided with guidance that reflects best practices for researching in our current information landscape."
Presenters: Adrienne Warner, Undergraduate Engagement Librarian, University of New Mexico Libraries, USA; Glenn Koelling, Undergraduate Engagement Coordinator for University of New Mexico Libraries, USA; Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian, The Ohio State University Libraries, USA.
