20、s Good morning, everyone! Through the assignments they make, faculty have the power to influence students development as seekers and users of information. (1)A well-designed assignment can teach students valuable research skills and improve the quality of then-papers. Unfortunately, (2)assignments a
21、lso have the potential to confuse and frustrate students, leading to a poorly-written product. Here are some suggestions to keep in mind when developing assignments that require library or Internet research. (3)First of all, the faculty should set objectives and make them clear to students. A statem
22、ent of objectives helps students focus on the research-related skills they should learn as a result of the assignment. The following example might be appropriate for a term paper in the social sciences or humanities.(4)As a result of this assignment, students should learn to develop a suitable topic
23、 for research, using the library reference collection and other sources of background information: select and use the most appropriate library catalogs, article databases and printed indexes, and Internet search tools to locate relevant and timely materials: distinguish between popular and scholarly
24、 sources and detect signs of bias, whether the material is in printed form or on the Internet:(5)quote and cite sources in a way that gives proper credit and avoids plagiarism. Secondly, the faculty should teach research strategies. Research strategies may seem obvious to experienced researchers but
25、 are often unknown to students. Breaking down the assignment into research strategy steps will help them accomplish your stated objectives.

27、rch engines selectively to locate authoritative, high-quality web sites. Besides, it is the facultys duty to provide resource lists. Resource lists give students a starting point, directing them to the most useful information sources for a particular assignment. However, (8)there are also some commo
28、n problems that the teaching staff should avoid. 1. Students forbidden to use anything from the Internet, when in fact many scholarly resources are only available online. 2. An entire class looking for one piece of information or researching the same specific topic: especially difficult when printed
29、 materials are involved. 3. Students required to use printed materials the library does not own(or does own, but not in sufficient quantity), or online sources they are not licensed to access. 4.(9)Students working from incomplete/incorrect information. 5.(10)Students assigned excessively vague or g
30、eneral topics, e. g. “Women in America“ , without guidance on narrowing a topic. 6. Students given obscure trivia questions and told to find the answers. To sum up, above I have introduced using library and Internet resources to finish assignments. I hope the suggestions will be of some help for eff
