Academic Research

1. Don't rely on Google for everything!

2. Focus on scholarly literature from library databases.

3. Perform more than one search!

4. Evaluate the information you find using the criteria in the box above.

5. Ask for help! The text-a-librarian service is a quick and easy way to get help from a librarian. Additionally, the library Facebook page is another way to get instant feedback!
