I am so happy to have the opportunity to present on the collaboration that took place between myself and the amazing library staff at Chattanooga State Community College last year.

Combining the Proposal Research Paper and the Proposal Documentary Project in my first-year composition courses with instruction from the library staff members at every phase of each project did the following:

  • Created a dynamic relationship between faculty, students, and librarians
  • Invited students to become familiar with the library resources
  • Allowed students to enhance their information literacy skills
  • Exposed students to principles of  visual and digital literacy

The Amazing Library Staff

Tisa Houck, Lori Warren and Pam Temple

  • Provided instruction both in the library and in the classroom
  • Offered students support throughout the entire process, including help with research and technology issues
  • Created in-depth Library Guides for each aspect of the project

The Research Paper

  • Proposal Argument, Critical Teaching in the 21st Century
  • Engaging Students as Community Citizens
  • Addressing Problems through Viable Solutions

The Documentary Project
