“…Our course incorporates the cooperative learning philosophy described by Penhale (5), the benefits of facultylibrarian partnership related by Drum (6 ), and the relevance of researching an intriguing problem in chemistry that Porter and Woerner (7) emphasize, all within a context that is very different from any of those approaches. Offering a course focused on finding, using, and evaluating chemical information, in the relative expansiveness of 12 class sessions, builds a solid foundation for the student.…”
