Introducing our New Information Literacy Module!
News - August 13th, 2012_______________________________________________________________________________
Our recently released module, Moving Into Discipline Specific Research, covers subject resources and strategies for using citations to locate topic-related sources. The module is a key resource for students advancing into their major area of study and is designed to provide guidelines on how to efficiently identify and locate academic sources for a specific discipline.
To preview the module, login to the Obojobo repository (https://obojobo.ucf.edu/repository) with your NID and NID password. Click on the Public Library, select the title, and then click on Preview. The module begins with a video introduction that you can also view on YouTube at (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2e_vxvyJ7o&feature=plcp).
Moving Into Discipline Specific Research discusses how to differentiate between subject-specific databases, multidisciplinary databases and OneSearch, the library’s new research tool that offers a single-search option to locate books, articles, etc.
As always we solicit your comments and feedback. Please contact us at (infolit@ucf.edu) with questions or if you would like to discuss ideas about using the modules in your courses.
