STEP 1:
Become familiar with Galileo. It's a search tool, just like Google! Learn *why* it's better than Google, and play around with the tools it offers, like doing a basic search, scrolling through results, and saving sources.
STEP 2:
Research is key, and that means Understanding Galileo.There is a lot of great stuff on these pages - take advantage of them!
- Filters/Limiters: your best friend when you need to narrow down your results
- Boolean: a way to put your keywords to work for you
- Advanced Searching: Galileo's Advanced Search makes using Boolean easy-peasy
- Navigating Galileo: a picture is worth a thousand words
STEP 3:
Finally you'll need to create citations for all the great sources you found. The Works Cited tab will help you there!
STEP 4:
At the end of the semester, take the quick library assessment. It lets us know how we're doing as instructors and how you're doing as students!
