- Educating for Civic Awareness: The Use of Government Resources in Tracking Current Affairs. Carder, Linda Willingham, Patricia Citizenship Education Civics Educational Media Higher Education Instructional Materials Library Materials Mass Media Media Adaptation Primary Sources Printed Materials Reference Materials Research Tools Resource Materials This report describes an instructional unit on government documents for college freshmen, implemented at the university library at Southest Missouri State University. Government documents in the federal depository library were the focus for the unit. In the introductory session to library use, the students often received only a cursory acknowledgment of the wealth of information available in public documents. This unit details how the resources were gathered, how news broadcasts reinforced the use of the documents, and how students then proceeded to conduct their own research using the materials. Appendices include sources of information and copies of handouts distributed to students during the course of the lesson. (EH)
