UGS 302: Autism and Neurodiversity - Prof. Tackett

Welcome

What is this library session all about?

We're here to get you started doing college-level research. My goals for the session are to prepare you to:

1. Create a search strategy to find the information you need for your topic proposal and annotated bibliography.

2. Find and evaluate information for your topic proposal and annotated bibliography.

3. Cite your sources

4. Access research, writing and oral presentation help.

A few things to know:

  • I am here to help you learn about college-level research. I understand learning doesn't work the same way for everyone, and that an hour isn't long enough to do more than get started. I want you to feel comfortable reaching out for help during and after the session, and confident about using this guide throughout the semester.
  • I do my best to foster an inclusive classroom environment to ensure that all of you are respected, safe and supported in your learning. 

How Can a Librarian Help?

Librarians are available to help with every step of the research process. We are information professionals and love working with students to connect you with the information you need. We can help you:

  • choose a research topic or find a research question
  • broaden or narrow your topic
  • find sources, whether they are books, articles, maps, music, data, etc. We can help you do great searches using Libraries tools and search engines like Google. 
  • evaluate sources. Is it credible? Is it peer-reviewed? etc.
  • recommend tools for organizing your research and citations..
