About COMP303 LIBBIs

Composition 303 students will attend one LIBBI-303COMP session, which is scheduled by their professor during a regular class time. During the LIBBI-303COMP, students will explore research topics within their discipline and discover a variety of discipline and subject related resources, skills and tools!

There is nothing to do in preparation for the LIBBI. If, however, you are not familiar with library resources and services or have not attended a Library Instruction (LIBBI) workshop, such as LIBBI-102COMP, it may be helpful to stop by the Library Services Desk to meet with a librarian for a brief introduction to the ORU Library.

You will need your network login (SSO). If your login does not work, contact the IT Concierge Desk at 918.495.6321, studenthelpdesk@oru.edu, or it.oru.edu.

LIBBI attendance is required. As noted in the opens new windowcourse syllabus, "Failure to complete LIBBI results in a 5% deduction to the semester grade."

Four short Exit Exercise quizzes in D2L are competed at the end of the session. Scores are moved into student WPAs as part of the Information Literacy rubric. LIBBI quiz scores do not affect Composition 303 grades.
