Turning One Source Into Many
You’ve spent a while searching in the library and you found the perfect source for your research assignment. Great! But now you need four more. In this workshop you’ll learn how to use one good source to find others. You’ll learn how to expand your keywords, search by author, locate references, and do citation searching. If you have “one good source” bring it along, and if not you can learn these techniques in time for your next research project.

You’ll learn more about what these sites are and how they work, so you can decide when to use them. We’ll look at how Wiki and Google Scholar compare to research tools in the library, see some of the features that can help you find reliable information, and learn how to use them to do effective academic research.
