RESEARCH - THE BASICS - INFORMATION LITERACY

Picture
Can you think critically about information?

Does your assignment/research question require scholarly sources?
Is your primary method of information gathering to hit "the Google" or Wikipedia?
Picture
What are the "other sources?" How can you find them?
Use College of Education Library - METRC (Media and Education Technology Resource Center) and NCSU Library System
  • Try the "Course Tools" for all of your courses to look for specific resources.
  • Article databases will lead you to sources like journals, magazines, newspapers, etc.
  • Use the various tutorials to learn new ways to search and find information
  • Keep track of all sources and your information - make citing it easier later!
  • Ask a librarian!
