Improve Your Information Literacy

Plough Library has an online Information Literacy Course with dozens of short tutorials, videos, and quizzes covering all aspects of the research process. Students can browse the course activities and get quick help on any topic of interest, from choosing a research topic to citing sources in APA style. In addition, CBU faculty can easily incorporate an activity into a Canvas course.

The Information Literacy course is broken down into six categories:

1. Getting Started with Research
2. Sources of Information
3. Searching for Information
4. Evaluating Information
5. Presenting Research and Data
6. Citations and Academic Integrity

Plough Library recently added three new Critical Thinking modules, as well:
