This lesson focuses on contractionary monetary policy by analyzing a 1955 primary source document of a speech Federal Reserve Chair William McChesney Martin Jr. gave. In his speech, Martin made the famous analogy that in times of economic expansion the Fed should “remove the punch bowl” before the party gets out of hand. Students will develop critical thinking skills through this primary document analysis and develop data literacy skills through FRED® graph analysis.

What is information literacy? Simply put, it's the skills and habits that allow you to find and use information. At MCC it is a Core Learning Outcome -- one of the areas you will demonstrate competency in before you graduate. In the Academic Catalog, MCC states that Information Literacy is:

"The ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate and effectively and responsibly use and share that information for the problem at hand."

The way information literacy is assessed at MCC is through research assignments. When you see instructions that ask you to find, use and cite sources, you're doing research.

This course will help you succeed in research assignments.

It is divided into five self-paced chapters that progress through the stages of a student research process. Each chapter should take roughly 30 minutes to complete, and covers two to three learning outcomes that align with the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, adopted by the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) in 2016.

These tools have been used in information literacy classes with YR 3 nursing science students in the NURS 344, Nursing Research, course. Objectives: ·      Assist with article detail tracking·      Provide overview of possible gaps, strengths, and possible areas for expanding searches·      Prepare students for identifying common themes for research synthesis

These chapters present a series of short readings with discussion questions and exercises related to basic research skills.  Topics relate to the whole research process from identifying a topic through presenting one’s own work and address both library research as well as searching for and evaluating sources on the open web.

This work was originally created to serve the needs of IS1111 Tackling a Wicked Problem taught at Plymouth State University.  You can see these chapters in the context of the other course readings at wicked-problem.press.plymouth.edu.  This version has been revised to remove references to institution-specific resources and programs in the hopes that these chapters may be useful in other contexts.

While the title, Researching Wicked Problems, implies a narrow applicability, this content addresses basic information literacy skills useful in a variety of contexts at a level appropriate for first year college students.
