Reframing the Pedagogy and Development of Information Literacy Teaching Tools. Journal of Academic Librarianship, 41

Summary
This article focused on the debate around whether the internet has made research papers an obsolete assignment as information is so readily available that students just look it up, gather it ad post it without doing any deep thinking about it. The authors proposed writing from sources as a replacement for the research paper. They advocate the process of research rather than the mechanics being taught to learners. They have created an online Research Toolkit at Hunter College where they work that takes learners through various skills and processes of conducting research.
Evaluation
I thought the article was useful to proposing a new idea to repace the tired research paper but I wish they had included a link to their Research Toolkit. I was able to do a search and find it through Hunter College and it was a good example of online tutorials
