Final Project
Library Topic Report and Presentation (150 points, combined)

Submit your topic proposal via email by September 26.

Library History/Topic Report (100 points, includes 5 points for submitting proposal.)
Students will research and write a 4-6 page report on the history and development of a library of their choice.  Students may wish to select a library in San Diego County (or vicinity) in order to incorporate an on-site visit.  The report must have a supporting bibliography in MLA citation format.  Students may also choose to supplement their report with images or other media.  This report should be handed in at the beginning of class on December 5.

More information on report components and expectations will be covered in class.

Presentation (50 points)
Each student will give a short presentation (5-7 minutes) summarizing their history report.  Presentations will be on December 5 and December 12.  Students are encouraged to incorporate technology and various media into their presentations (posters, overheads, photographs, PowerPoint, etc.).

Note: Alternative topics suggested by student may be allowed with instructor approval (examples: develop a set of web pages for local library; examine the life and career of a notable librarian; explore an important library issue such as copyright, intellectual freedom, etc. in a written report).
