Workshop: Finding and Understanding Sources In-Person / Online
Why search through multiple databases if there is Google Scholar? How do you know if an article is useful and its author credible? When is it okay to use Wikipedia or a podcast? Determining where to find sources and understanding when to use different types of source material for your research can prove vexing. Different contexts of research can change what sources are credible and useful. This workshop will provide clarification through a review of database indexing, peer review, and a thorough explanation of the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. We will understand the different formats research can take, such as a literature review or case study, and determine when to use specific formats over others.
