WRIT 102: Science - Library Instruction Sessions

In each of our library instruction sessions, our goal is to help you to develop your research skills so that you will be able to find, evaluate and use information effectively, efficiently and ethically.

One way to develop these skills is to ask yourself these questions each time you begin the research process:

1) What information am I looking for?

2) Where will I find the information?

3) How good is the information?

4) How will I ethically use the information?

Here is how we will address these questions in each session:

Lesson #1 :Selecting keywords and subject headings and locating background information on your topic		Lesson #2 :Locating and evaluating information published in scholarly academic journals

Lesson #3 :Locating information published in Science journals and annual reviews		Lesson #4 :Locating government documents and information published by professional organizations
