The revised course title and description
more accurately describe the course
and are reflective of similar courses at
other two- and four-year colleges. This
course is taught in a computer lab and
the majority of the resources, activities,
and homework require the use of a
computer, hence the addition of basic
computer skills as recommended
preparation.

available in libraries: Emphasis on
forms of general and subject resource
materials (encyclopedias, dictionaries,
indexes, abstracting services,
handbooks, bibliographies); and
understanding of the online catalog
and other online resources.
