Finding and Evaluating Information
Many assignments will ask you to find "scholarly articles," but what does that mean?
Scholarly articles are often (but not always!) peer-reviewed. You've probably heard the term before, but this video gives a brief but thorough description of what it means.
The best way to make sure you're finding scholarly or peer-reviewed articles is by using a library database. This video will show you how.
