Abstract

Librarians are always looking for ways to get into the classroom. What if you could partner with faculty to craft a research assignment that would bring you into classrooms to teach students to use library databases, evaluate internet websites, and properly cite these sources over multiple sessions? Find out how a librarian and an instructor collaborated on an assignment using Epic Rap Battles of History (well-known characters rap against each other) that facilitated research and fostered analytical thinking beyond what is expected in an introductory composition course. Collaboration equals student success!
