  2. Let’s… Find information efficiently and effectively, using appropriate research tools and search strategies – Periodical Databases Evaluate and select information using appropriate criteria Ethically, legally, and safely use information and information technologies

  3. Find information efficiently and effectively, using appropriate research tools and search strategies – using Periodical Databases I. Employ common strategies for narrowing or expanding searches Good to start with broad searching, narrow as you go Gather list of keywords, synonyms, related terms from your reference sources II. Identify sources/resources that are likely venues for finding information on your topic or written by people interested in your topic. A. Periodical Databases Scholarly journals (Academic) vs. Magazines (Popular) Peer reviewed The “Academic Web,” i.e. Google Scholar – Subscription vs. free-web Searching

  4. III. Recognize the interconnections between published works by effectively using bibliographies, etc. Look at a bibliography in a journal article found in one of the databases. How would you follow up on this trail? IV. Obtain materials that aren’t available in our library – Interlibrary Loan(Summit & Worldcat) V. Use digital tools and methods to locate and access (and start to manage/organize) information resources A. Locating & accessing articles in databases B. Subject headings in databases; Browse feature C. How do you keep track of your sources? Keep a bibliography (more about this to come…) D. For a more advanced tool, check out Zotero – manages all types of sources, from journal articles in databases to websites. Plus, has some neat bells and whistles.

  5. Evaluate and select information using appropriate criteria Subject your sources to CRAAP test: Currency – When was the source published or last updated? Relevancy – How is the information relevant to your topic? Accuracy – Is the source accurate? How do you know? Typos or grammar mistakes? Authority – What type of source is it? Who is the audience? What are the author’s credentials? Purpose – Is there recognizable bias? Are facts or opinions presented?

  6. Ethically, legally, and safely use information and information technologies I. Accurately record information retrieved A. Keep a running bibliography II. Use one or more standard citation styles to clearly identify the sources of information you incorporate into your own work. MLA and APA styles Print and online style guides Utilize the “cite” feature within databases (if provided) III. Understand and respect the concept, purpose, and practice of academic honesty & intellectual property rights. IV. Utilize others’ ideas in the service of your own A.
