We're here to get you started doing college-level research. Our learning goals for today are for you to be able to:
- conduct searches in UT Libraries tools to find books and articles.
- describe criteria and techniques for evaluating sources for credibility.
- describe what scholarly, peer-reviewed journals are and what their purpose is.
- find research and writing help available at UT.
Here are a few things you should 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.
