Greetings all!

First, please forgive me if this message is duplicated as I am sending it to two listservs.

The Atlanta College of Art is looking into setting up a mandatory course for all incoming students (transfers and freshmen) on library and research skills and other "college success" topics.  I am very interested in what other colleges and universities do and would appreciate it if you could share information on the following with me:

• Do you offer a course similar to the one I've described above?  A course different than the one I've described, but related in content?
• When is the course held?  During the first term?  Over more than one term?  During Orientation Week?
• Who teaches it?  To what extent is the library staff involved in the course/class?
• What topics are included in the course?  Writing skills?  Bibliographic instruction? Study skills? Ethics/plagiarism? Others?
• In what department is this course located?  Who's "responsible" for it?
• How is success assessed?  Are there assignments or is the content aligned with other courses?  Is there a grade or a pass/fail?  Is the course shown on the official transcript?

If other are interested, I will accumulate responses and post them to the listservs.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Moira
