Getting Started with Library Research

A brief introduction to resources for those new to library research.

DRAMA

 Date -- When was the resource published? Is it current? Does it matter?

 Relevance -- Does this resource relate directly to your project? Does it support  your ideas or is it counter to them? Who is the intended audience?

 Accuracy -- Is the information found here accurate? Does it fit with the other information that you are finding? Is the information biased in some way?

 Motivation -- Why was this resource produced? Is it to share information? Is it meant to persuade you to do or think something?

 Authority -- Who wrote/created the resource? Can you tell? What are their credentials? Can you tell who the publisher is?
