The CCC Library has several asynchronous modules to teach research skills in our Canvas Library Workshop. Topics include Background Research, Finding Articles in Databases, Evaluating Sources, and MLA and APA Citation Styles. Assign your students one or more modules, and they will receive a badge upon completion of the assigned modules. If these topics don't meet your needs, contact our instruction librarian Katherine Becvar for Canvas modules customized to your assignment or course.
