acknowledging their ideas

  2. You have an assignment coming up that requires you to do research and using quality resources is key to completing this successfullyIt is recommended that you evaluate the sources that you want to use to assure that you are choosing the best onesMy name is Melanie Parlette-Stewart and I work in the library and have education and training in Research and Libraries and it’s my job to help you make the most of the Library’s resourcesBy learning how to evaluate resources you will be better able to source appropriate resources in your assignmentWe’re going to go over how to evaluate resources. I’m going to provide you with some tools on this and we’re going to practice as a groupToday we will cover why you need to evaluate resources, how we can do this and where you can get help

  5. Blogs:Commercial:Educational:News:Forum:Online forums or message boards are websites where like-minded people come together and discuss everything related to their industry, or any other topic like sports, music, or politics.Content:
  6. This will depend on the group of students and their assignment
  7. We could find out all about this using Wikipedia, right?Perhaps start with Wikipedia – to get them to understand where you’re going with this, say “Wikipedia works for day-to-day questions, but why can’t you use just Wikipedia for all your research needs?” You’re looking for them to understand that a single source, regardless of what it is, is not enough for their research, even if it seems to provide all the answers they need…because it’s providing just one perspective, one author’s viewpoint. Facts may have been excluded or modified. You have to use a variety of sources to ensure you’ve got the best information, and the broadest perspective.List potential sources on the screen or on the board – the ones students suggest and you suggest will depend on the research topic
  8. Do a quick search for your question, together. Have students look at the first page of results and see if they intuitively know the best from the worst (this can be just by the names of the links and their domain suffixes, or you could pick one or two (one good, one bad) and present the question openly (“Do you think this website is trustworthy, or not? Why or why not? Think about it and then we’ll discuss it.”). You could also do this with preselected websites which you lead students to with links. After the open discussion, present the CAARS/CRAAP acronym to fill in additional considerations. Could also do this in reverse, using the CAARS evaluation tool up front [depends on timing and audience]

  10. Segway – The Library provides lots of print and online information that can be classed as “better” information: published, edited, scholarly, sometimes peer-reviewed. Google is great for finding the free stuff, and we’ve seen that there can be quality info found through a search for free information. But the library specializes in providing more information to you – the kind that usually you have to pay for. Direct students to go the LRC homepage to get started. Proceed with search examples without additional slides.
