Research Skills: Finding information

• Class notes,

• Online learning content,

• Recommended readings or key text books. 

Then, you should begin to look at other resources, which will help you build up your knowledge. 

Off-campus: Log in using your student ID and password.

Websites shared on the library’s subject guides are there to help you save time to find relevant industry information.  You’ll still need to read the information carefully and decide if it’s a reliable or credible source.  Maybe start with these questions:

• Who has made it? (Is there any bias?) 

• When and where was it published? (Has the information been updated or is it outdated? Is the content from a reliable source) 

• Why was it published? What is its purpose? (Is it trying to sell a product? How accurate is the information presented?)
