Welcome!
Welcome! In our session today, we are going to explore some ideas about information, doing research, and make friends with the library website. I will guide you through and am happy to answer questions now and in the future. Find me at jwhite15atuno.edu or 504-280-6548.
The Tip of the Iceberg
Information Has a Purpose for You--Do You Have a Purpose for It?
The world of information is enormous!
⇒ The bigger it gets, the better you have to learn to search for, find, and use it.
Our goals today are to practice:
--identifying what information is
--learning what criteria make a source of information reliable and beneficial
--learning new places to find reliable information at the UNO library
--asking questions about what you find to determine the reliability and benefits of that information
--using that information ethically in your work
