Directions for Unit 3

University Library

All the information you need for completing Unit 3 will be found on this directions sheet. Print a copy and please pay careful attention to the directions.

Keep the objective relevant to this unit in mind as you proceed: have a thorough understanding of Library services and resources and will have an understanding of the potential, both good and bad, of Internet resources used for research purposes.

1. Complete the assigned readings.

2. You have three tasks to complete:

a. Post a forum document that is 200-words minimum on resources specific to educational or counseling research found in the University’s Library. This might include information about journals, books, and other media-specific material in these fields. You should also refer to personnel resources. For example, research librarians and interlibrary loan acquisition personnel are very important as are their telephone contact numbers. Please avoid simplistic items such as where the library is located, when it is open, that it has books and study rooms, and that librarians are helpful. Make points that will probably help some of your classmates. Two responses to others should be addressed at sharing other information regarding the library.

b. 321 on the Library. List three important things you learned about the library resources or operation, list two other things you found interesting, and provide one question that remains. Provide details with each item and be sure all is relevant to research. If this seems to be a simple assignment, that is so because it is. The 321 assignments will always entail reading and then listing, with explanatory details: three important things you learned, two items you found interesting, and one question to be answered. See the next page for the format to follow for all 321 assignments.

c. 321 on Internet resources for research from the assigned readings, list two other things you found interesting, and name one question that remains. In your listing, provide explanatory details . Always use the same format that was given to you for the very first 321 assignment.

Use a title page for every written assignment . Apply the following headings format for all 321 assignments:
