Abstract
Abstract Academic librarians are leading credit-bearing courses to improve information literacy skills. Librarians at the University of Nevada, Reno teach an Honors College course focused on discovering research in multiple disciplines. This course was converted from a 1-credit course to a 3-credit course. Positive updates to the new course included more flexibility, new content and assignments, and more time to discuss a variety of disciplines. Changes to be revisited for future iterations include rescheduling units and assignments and developing more instructor knowledge of research methods. Teaching a semester-long credit-bearing course helps librarians experiment with teaching strategies that cannot be completed in one-shot instruction sessions.
期刊介绍：
College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
