Good library assignments increase students' understanding of the course's subject matter, teach research skills, and introduces them to the varied array of information sources available to them on the open internet and through the UTEP Library.
Library assignments are more effective when they relate to specific class assignments. Planning and testing library assignments ahead of time can make a huge difference in how they're received by students. Positive experiences with research exercises and assignments can enhance the comfort and capability with which students approach research in their future-- a benefit in both academic and professional careers.
