The staff member assigned to the Research & Curation subtask will conduct the research and set up a working Word document for the research output.
1. Review the task description and the CDG (linked in the task fields when available) to determine needed resources.
2. Create a Word document for the research.
- On the CTL-University Library-Team SharePoint page, select LRR Documents on the left.
- Click on the + New button and select Folder.
- Enter the course name (no spaces or special characters; include the course version if you have it), for example: CJS200v2.
- Click Create.
- Within the newly created folder, click on + New and select Word document.
3. In the Word document File Name field, type the date (yyyymmdd), course name with version (same as Folder name), and Research & Curation. For example: 20251231 CJS200v2 Research & Curation.
4. Format the Word document as follows:
- The top of the document should contain the course information in the following format: CJS/200 v2 - Research & Curation.
- Week identifiers (and Articles/Videos, if needed) should be in bold.
- Each resource should have the following on separate lines: citation, direct persistent URL, and abstract (or Abstract not available if applicable).
- A PDF example of how the Word document should be formatted can be viewed here.
- Citation format for a full video:
- IE University Publishing (Producer). (2020). Undercosting and overcosting [Full video]. (05:21)
- Citation format for a video segment:
- Sage Publications, Ltd. (Producer). (2019). Ch. 3, LaQuina Williams discusses the financial
aspects of running a practitioner-owned practice [Video segment in Starting and running a
nursing practice]. (03:55)
- If needed, a fourth line entitled Library Note, highlighted in yellow, can contain special callouts or information you'd like to highlight about the resource. This should also be used for external (non-library) resources to note that a permission request is required, along with any helpful information you can include.
- Example library note wording for external resources:
- This requires a permission request. (This general language may be useful when you're unsure of permission processing expectations for a particular resource.)
- A permission request is required for this federal resource but is expected to be allowed.
- A permission request is required, and it's possible that written permission will be needed.
- A PDF example of how library notes on a Word document should be formatted can be viewed here.
5. Paste the research document URL in the Working Doc fields of the Research & Curation and Content Review subtasks.
6. Enter Time Spent.
7. Mark the Research & Curation subtask as complete.
