Students in POLS 328: Islam and Politics with Assistant Professor Eunsook Jung, recently visited the library to work with Research & Instruction Librarian Robin Miller. For a group research project and presentation about a contemporary political issue in the Islamic world, students were gathering peer reviewed articles, news sources, and books to integrate into their research. Student topics included the Arab Spring in Egypt and Tunisia, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and Iran
Dr. Jung says she schedules a library instruction session with a librarian because, “The library instruction class helps students to locate reliable, relevant, and high quality sources for their projects. It definitely improves the quality of student projects.” Students spent their time in the library learning how to navigate library resources, to distinguish between scholarly sources and newspaper articles, and to find books from both UW-Eau Claire and other libraries in the UW System.
