Library Information Literacy Modules

Introduction

This module is intended to help students put the information they find in their research to use. From determining what kind of information product they should make, to making sure they are using the information from their sources properly, to paraphrasing, synthesis, and plagiarism avoidance. This module contains some basic overview of citing sources, but for a thorough exploration of citation & referencing, you can also include the "Citations and References" module.
