Make a copy of This Worksheet to work on in class (File → Make a Copy)

For the first part of this activity, we'll be searching Google (you may have a different search engine you prefer, but for this class, we'll all be using the same search engine) and Google Scholar.

For the second part of this activity, we'll be searching the library's databases using search strategies that you create --- use the tabs above to find databases that cover your group's project area and the "Building Searches" tab to help you put your strategies together! 

Note on accessing sources: if you see "citation online" or "Request through Interlibrary Loan" you won't be able to use that source for your project.
