Back to this worksheet: fill out individuallyIf students can’t think of their own question, have them use: “…..
From Purdue LibrariesDiscussion question for class: How do you decide when to use Google or databases?Watch video
Hands-on timeShow students how to use ASC (basics): how to search, how to understand results, email/print/save articles, cite articlesDemonstrate the need to go back and revise and how research is a process
Ask students why they think citing sources would be important, why not just copy/paste stuff from articles or the internet into your paper?Discuss main reasons: giving credit to others (if you came up with an idea, would you want someone to pass it off as theirs without giving you credit?); making your work more credible (prove it) in not just papers for school that you might not use again but also in the work place, your future boss might ask you to find information that’s credible and have proof that it is accurate
Explain different styles / why there are different styles, there are Follow whichever one your instructor assignsExplain in-text citations, and that’s how you back up your points in the paper and so readers/your instructor knows which quote/paraphrase goes with which sourceTip for students: When taking notes, list the author/page number so you can keep track
Show citation guide and how different ways to cite based on type of sourceShow RefWorks support page, won’t be able to show sample, but explain what it does and more suited for graduate students or undergrads doing a great deal of research, but anyone is welcome to useExplain how students can use cite button in databases and worldcat local on library homepage to get citations (must double check formatted correctly though, sometimes there are errors in the automatic citations)
