Capstone: Undergraduate Student Research Guide Pressbook (In Progress)

Our objective is to create an Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0-licensed information literacy textbook for first-year students and/or beginning academic researchers, based on existing UW Libraries instructional content and selected OER. This will improve on and expand existing resources such as the UW Libraries’ Undergraduate Research Tutorial (currently in Canvas), making a learning resource that is open access and more evergreen in format as a Pressbooks OER textbook. This format will also allow lessons and chapters to be exported individually as needed by instructors and librarians (not just at the UW). The textbook will incorporate the most up to date strategies in instructing on information literacy (following the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy), academic research, and library navigation used by the UW and other academic libraries.
