Prepare
As you prepare to write your second discussion response for this week, be sure to complete the following:
Review our readings and discussions about library research methods.
Review your own methods for researching and finding library resources.
Take the SAILS exam. Your results are anonymous. This is a nationally-normalized, standardized exam to measure information literacy skills for students in universities all over the United States, and the results will guide the university in developing the best possible library resources and research methodologies training. Information literacy can loosely be defined as the ability to find, evaluate, and use sources of information. Thus, the exam measures your research abilities.
Review the grading rubric for this discussion.
Reflect

Discuss how you plan to apply your new skills and knowledge to future activities. How will you address any areas of weakness you discovered when taking the exam?
