The assistant dean of learning resources is giving a presentation to Pam Crawford's Management class on Friday to talk about ways to use the databases, journals, ebooks and more to help you complete your projects for the course.

We'll cover business plans, leadership, small business, stocks, company profiles, articles, and more.

Looking for the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review and other business publications?  We have them and will show you how to get them on campus and at home.

Peer Reviewed Articles / Databases / Library Assistance

 Information literacy checkup 101

After visiting David Raymond's Maine History course, I'd like to ask students in the class who are working on their papers the following questions.

Have you located enough information on the Great Awakening?   Did you use the database Academic Search Premier? Did you use any other library databases?    Do you know how to build a good search?  Remember to use Boolean operators (AND/OR/NOT).  Do you know the difference between a magazine and a peer reviewed journal?  Did you vary search terms?  Keywords versus subject headings?  

Have you used ebooks in the Ebrary collection? 

Do you know that you can use Noodlebib to cite your sources?

Have you used Google Scholar or Google Books?

Did you check the library online catalog to see what books are available on the Great Awakening?

Did you find what you need to complete the assignment?    If not, contact the library for some help.

Locating information should be easy.  You can do this from home.  Get what you need exactly when you need it. 

If you started with Wikipedia, don't end there.  Do a thorough job with your research and writing your paper will be easier than you think.
