OWHL Guides are research guides that can help orient your students towards right resources. By collaborating with us to create an OWHL Guide for your class or assignment, you can help put students on the right path and cut down on the use of unscholarly, untrustworthy sources in research.
These helpful guides can contain reference sources, books, reserves, scholarly journal articles, databases, primary sources, newspapers, charts, graphs - almost anything! We can match the guide content to student needs and level, your assignment parameters, and subject specialty. You can link to them easily in your Canvas course, or include a link in your assignment prompts.
Whether you would like to have a guide to support your whole course or one research assignment, just let your library liaison know and he/she will work with you to meet your pedagogical needs.
OWHL Guides can cover subjects, courses, or be assignment-specific.
