5 Wrap up and research worksheet – 1

In this module:

  • We covered why information exists, who creates it, and how information of all kinds can be valuable, even when it’s biased.
  • We discussed what scholarly research is, how to find it, how the process of peer-review works, and how it gets published.
  • Databases are critical to finding academic research! We looked at two major types of databases, why databases are important, and how searching a library database is different from a web search like Google.

Need more? You can set up a one on one appointment with a Peer Research Consultant, chat with a librarian 24/7 on our website, or set up an appointment with a subject librarian.

Optional research activity: popular vs. scholarly databases
