This list scratches the surface of how to integrate research into courses without papers. Check out the left sidebar for more ideas. Have a great idea for this list? Share it with us!​ Students can:

• Create an introductory guide or pathfinder on a topic.
• Find reviews of a book, article, or other cultural text from the time it was published. Have students critique the scholarly impact of the work using the reviews and modern articles that build upon the author's ideas.
• Examine the literature of a particular discipline in order to determine how information is compiled, disseminated, and evaluated. Have students discuss how credibility is constructed in a particular field.
• Conduct oral histories and use primary and scholarly sources to provide a framework for context and analysis.
• Create a timeline in order to trace key moments in a scholarly conversation or in a scholar's career.
• Compile a research proposal/grant proposal that contains an outline of their topic and a clearly articulated research strategy.

If you find you would like additional support regarding integrating IL outcomes, activities, and assignments, don't hesitate to:

1. Contact a librarian for collaboration

2. Invite a librarian to class for a hands-on research session

3. Survey other school's materials
