The
University Libraries, Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence
(MCAE), and SMART Learning Commons have come together to pilot a
program of providing peer tutors for students on library
and academic research--specifically First Year Writing students.
PRCs have completed
WRIT 1301 and will receive extensive training in library research,
information literacy, tutoring and cultural competencies. We have hired
three students for Fall and they will be available for one-on-one
appointments and drop-ins in early October at the SMART Learning
Commons and MCAE. PRC can
help students with:
--Selecting and narrowing a topic
--Finding Books and articles
--Finding scholarly articles
--Evaluating sources
--Basic citation creation
--and more
Our hours and locations will be coming in early October.
