  2. Objectives • Read and interpret basic citations. • Locate books and articles using evidence found in citations. 2006 UW Libraries Research Workshops

  3. Why do I want to do this? • To avoid “giving up” on a source (or even a topic) just because it’s not on a computer screen in front of you. • Don’t reinvent the wheel! • Many of your research projects will build upon the work of others. If someone has already done extensive research on a topic or question, use it. 2006 UW Libraries Research Workshops

What’s a citation? • A citation is a brief description of one specific information source. • It includes enough information to allow a reader to find the exact source. • It usually appears in a bibliography, list of references, or a research database. • It may appear in a number of different formats, but each will display the same information. 2006 UW Libraries Research Workshops
