Wales, Barbara Littlejohn, Nancy Academic Libraries College Students Group Instruction Helping Relationship Higher Education Individual Instruction Information Seeking Library Services Library Skills Research Papers (Students) Research Skills Search Strategies Student Research Academic libraries have traditionally provided some kind of term paper assistance to patrons. Central Missouri State University's Ward Edwards Library designed a two-pronged approach to a term paper clinic (TPC), using traditional group instruction and one-on-one walk-in assistance. The primary goals of the TPC are to teach the student to: (1) select an appropriate topic; (2) locate reference materials; (3) utilize both print and electronic periodical indexes; (4) use a systematic approach to conducting research, keeping bibliographic cards, taking notes, and organizing a final draft; and (5) learn evaluative skills needed to select appropriate sources. A second research assistance event is "Research Rescue," an individualized approach to providing assistance to students doing library research. Research Rescue services include providing individual assistance at a point of need; offering walk-in help during an entire week; locating and using appropriate library resources; and involving the bibliographers for specialized individual research.
