| Abstract |
Each year 150 new medical students enter UCLA. During Foundations week they are introduced to the resources and services, which will support their studies, as well as to the problem-based learning (PBL) approach of instruction. The library is responsible for introducing print and digital resources and illustrating how these support the PBL approach. This has been a challenge, given students' belief that they already know about libraries and the limited time frame (roughly 45 minutes) allotted to us. This year we developed a collaborative, student-centered, active learning approach. Students were exposed to a variety of relevant resources and given the opportunity to critique them for appropriateness to their PBL case of the week. |
