New Strategies from Librarian
• Research Consultations– Paper slips handed out twice in class– Overwhelming response
![Page 25: Stepping Up Student Learning with Faculty-Librarian Collaboration](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102721/54459a86afaf9feb2a8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Firming Up the Foundation – Results!
• 113 students –> 94 completed papers (83.2%)• 78.25% passed paper with C- or better• Progressive improvement in student-selected
sources• Increased student interaction with librarians,
Writing Center, and course professor• 56 FLITE research consultations

ChallengesOverwhelming rush to FLITE librarians:
FLITE was prepared
Equally overwhelming rush to Writing Center:Writing Center was not prepared

Student Quote
• “Thank you for your teaching. . . .I think you should keep the length of your research paper the same next semester because it has helped me in Eng 150. I have an A in that class thanks to your teaching in reading sources and writing papers.”
(Personal communication, December 2009)
