Cerro Coso to Offer Introductory Research Course

March 5, 2008

Cerro Coso librarian Julie Cornett will be teaching a 1-unit Introduction to Research class on three Saturdays this spring (April 5th, 19th, and May 3rd) from 9:00 - 4:00pm at the Bishop Campus of the Eastern Sierra College Center. Students will work in an "open lab" classroom environment conducting research on topics of their choosing while getting individualized assistance on the research process. Topics will include: Internet Searching, Evaluating Information, and Using the Library Catalog and Online Databases. Additionally, students will receive instruction on how to set up an email account and send attachments if needed.

Students and community members of all skill levels and ages are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to become better navigators of the overwhelming web of information in our world. These skills are increasingly important in the contemporary environment of rapid technological change and proliferating information sources.

Those interested in this course need only register in LIT C075: Introduction to Library Research (CRN 30286).
