Week 3 Wrap-Up

We will be quizzed on this information on Wednesday, but this is a summary of what Ms. Bergstrom talked about in class all week.

We went over Noodle Tools, and why it is useful.  Remember that through Noodle Tools you can do your citations, it helps you check for errors, shows you how to do intext citation, and you can even do annotations with Noodle Tools bibliography.

From Moodle you can find links to JSTOR and EBSCO.  If you use EBSCO at home, you will need a login and password, you can pick those up in the library if you didn't get a bookmark from Ms. Bergstrom. 

We spent a lot of the week discussing the differences between academic and non-academic sources.  If a source is peer-reviewed, that is one of the key ways to identify that the source is academic.

When we evaluate sources the four things to look at are:
  1. currency (when was it published, updated, etc.)
  2. relevance/usefulness
  3. bias
  4. authority
