Welcome to the Library's research guide for EGL 101-016
What are we going to cover today? After working through the material in this workshop and guide, students in David Jakalski's EGL 101 class will be able to:
-
Identify relevant keywords in order to conduct a basic database search.
-
Use background sources to come up with questions about a research topic.
-
Locate relevant articles in one or more library databases.
-
Give credit to the original ideas of others through proper attribution and citation.
After our library workshop, this guide will continue to be available for the remainder of the Fall 2024 semester. Use it to locate topics and resources for your EGL 101 writing projects. Let's get started!
