Library Resource Center

LIBRARY SERVICES

You will see us in your classes for workshops, you’ll see us at campus events, and of course you’ll see us at the library! We’re the ones teaching you how to avoid plagiarism by citing your papers, helping you search for articles, showing you how to evaluate information, narrow down a research topic, and more. Consider us your partner in research! When you have an assignment that requires research and you feel you could use a little guidance, remember the LRC is the place to be! We value the time we get to spend with our students; helping to develop the skills you will need to succeed in your professional lives! Stop by and visit your Campus Library today to find out all the resources we have to offer!

RESEARCH SKILLS

As your librarians, it’s our goal to help you develop your critical thinking skills. Several facets of critical thinking that will help you in your academic career are problem-solving, analyzing and evaluating information, using information to make smart decisions, and communicating your informed thoughts and ideas to others. Mastering these skill sets will help you become successful not only in your educational path, but also in your professional and personal lives. The following guides offer a brief tutorial on some of the activities you will practice and develop here at Coleman to accomplish an expertise in critical thinking.
