Research Process Reflection Prompts

User-Generated Tags Going Away

The Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox (FILS) Committee has created a new list of high-use topics with definitions to make resources easier to categorize and find. We are moving away from user-generated tags. You can update your tags to these new standardized topics to improve discoverability. User-generated tags are currently hidden and will go away on or after February 28, 2026. Tags are no longer visible publicly, but are still available to contributors in the edit view until February 28, 2026. If you miss this deadline, you can still add topics to your resources, but you won’t be able to see the former tags. If you prefer not to make updates, your resources will still be discoverable by keyword search, discipline, and more. For more information, please reach out to acrlsandbox@gmail.com.

This resource consists of three prompts for students to reflect on their research process at the beginning, the midpoint, and the end of a research assignment. The reflection responses can be used by librarians and instructors to identify where students are struggling in the research process and use that information to improve their teaching.
