BEAM Me Up: Teaching Rhetorical Methods for Source Use and Synthesis

Abstract

The author critiques common methods of teaching source evaluation and proposes that instruction librarians teach BEAM to students who may struggle using a source once they have located it. A lesson plan is included as supplemental materials.
