Goals! After working through the material in this workshop and guide, students in David Jakalski's EGL 102 class will be able to:

  1. Identify background sources appropriate to their topic in order to narrow down their research question.
  2. Explain the peer review process.
  3. Locate a relevant, scholarly article in a library database.
  4. 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 102 writing projects. Let's get started!
