Gathering Your Sources

Gathering resources for a research project can seem like a challenge: there are so many variables to consider. This workshop will look at the criteria that should guide your selection of sources. But it will largely be a tutorial on database searching – for both scholarly articles and books. Moreover, we will look at the relationship between selecting sources and refining a research topic. And it will introduce the use of Reference Management Software. I hope you can join us.
