ESL 151 - READING AND COMPOSITION V - McGrath

Welcome to the ESL 151 CampusGuide with Prof. McGrath.

This guide will help you complete the argumentative research paper on a current debate or controversial issue. You will choose a topic and find 5-8 sources for your argument.

In this library session, you will:

• identify which tools have the appropriate source for your information need
• Design and use search strategies by brainstorming keywords, refining search terms, and using advanced limiters in different systems 
• find library sources in library databases and the open web

You can use this guide by selecting the tabs in the navigation menu. If you are on a mobile device, the tabs may appear on the top or bottom of the page.

Take 2 minutes to think and write on your post-it about the last time you needed to find information or answer a question about something:

How do you usually find information? Do you Google, ask a friend, use social media?

Why do you use that option instead of something else?

We will then take 2 minutes to share out some of the answers. You don't have to share but it is helpful to reflect on your current research process (how you find and make sense of information online).
