Last year, Nina McHale offered in College and Research Libraries News some interesting advice about how to handle the rogue assignment, which she defines as one that “is a faculty-created, library-related assignment that, having been developed with the best possible intentions, is in some way out of sync with a library’s resources or does not provide students with a thorough introduction to them.” The article by McHale and an interview of her can be freely found online.
