Title: Instructions
Course: Brock Content > Section: Library Research Workshop

This asynchronous, self-paced workshop will provide you with the fundamental terminology and methods necessary to perform academic research in a university environment. The library is at the core of academic research: it provides access to physical and electronic peer-reviewed scholarship, data, primary sources, and specialized expertise. This workshop will introduce you to these aspects and provide you with an opportunity to put them into action.

Following the completion of this workshop, you will:

1. Be able to define peer review and why it is important to academic scholarship
2. Differentiate between types of scholarly sources
3. Apply a source evaluation technique to determine whether a source is appropriate for your assignment
4. Learn about research databases by considering and developing a search strategy

You will have an opportunity to test your understanding intermittently throughout the workshop. Unless otherwise noted, interactive quizzes are not ‘for credit.’ However, the final quiz at the end of the workshop is for credit.

Your librarian for this course is [insert librarian here]. Feel free to reach out to them should you encounter any issues or would like to meet to discuss a research related topic.
