Screencasts and Standards: Connecting an Introductory Journalism Research Course with Information Literacy

Abstract

CourseJournalism Research: Information GatheringObjective(s)Students will utilize critical-thinking skills and creativity to learn about research databases that are useful for finding information, particularly for journalism and telecommunications needs. Each pair will ultimately produce a screencast, that is, a video screen capture with audio narration, as a semester activity for this five-week course that (1) offers succinct background information about its assigned database, (2) explains database utility for students and scholars, (3) demonstrates focused searches with Boolean operators and special characters, and (4) evaluates sources from the search results for accuracy.
