Faculty Toolkit: Library Support for CORE 3990

This is a toolkit for faculty members who are teaching the Core course 3990, Advanced Research-Based Writing.

This toolkit provides resources aligned to the Fisher Outcomes of Inquiry & Analysis, Integrative and Applied Learning, and Equity & Inclusion and 3990 course objectives.

• Every section of 3990 is supported by a librarian.
• The librarians have created a special research lesson specifically for 3990 students.
• New in academic year 2024-2025: Library 3990 Essentials, a mini-course. In this self-enroll Brightspace mini course, students review research how-tos they might have forgotten since 1299 Research-Based Writing. For transfer students who never took 1299, this mini-course introduces students to library resources and finding scholarly journal articles. Required pre-session work for all 3990 sections. The librarian shows students how to self-enroll.
• Online sections of 3990 and seated/non-online sections get librarian support tailored to the teaching modality of the course. This toolkit provides information for both.
