Know

Kinds of Resources:  Divide students into groups and assign a topic to each group.  The students will identify at least three kinds of resources useful for research on the topic (books, newspaper articles, popular magazine articles, scholarly journal articles, popular (or scholarly) web pages, government documents, etc.) The groups will research and provide one example of each format they have identified. (Smith College Libraries)

Access

Open Webt vs. Databases: Search a selected topic using both the Internet and databases.  Compare the differences in search strategy and results.  Select sources from both the open web and library databases and compare the depth, language, and other features of the sources as well as the usefulness for the topic.

Using References: Find a scholarly article on a chosen topic.  Students will examine the references, locate a selection of the cited sources, and analyze how the scholars used their sources in the orginal work.

Evaluate

Conduct a Review of the Literature: Investigate the "state of the art" on a particular topic by doing a literature review and summary of the most important research. (DuBois)

Impact Evaluation: Determine the impact on the field of specific articles or books from the course readings.  How many people have cited the work? Get the articles. Write a review of these articles explaining how the citing scholar used the original work. (DuBois)

Use

Debate: Hold an in-class debate assigning pro and con research to the class.  Students should prepare for the debate by gathering, reading, understanding and referencing sources to support their side of the issue. (UMUC Library)

Cite

Annotated Bibliography: Students will research a specific topic and collect sources to create an annotated bibliography for the subject.  Specify whether all sources need to be peer-reviewed or if popular sources are acceptable.  The student will then cited and annotate their choices including how the content was obtained, why the content is appropriate, and be able to support their choices.
