This class looks at the topic of library skills for literary study very broadly. To be sure, we will spend a lot of time learning how to find information like books and articles in the OSU Libraries’ collections. But we will also spend time thinking about how information is organized in these, and other, collections -- knowledge we can use to unlock any collection of information, in a library, on the web, or in an archive. This class will also look at the topic of information management -- being able to build your own library of useful sources will help you be a successful college researcher, and successfully solve problems and answer questions after college, in whatever field you pursue.
