Once you have mastered these baseline skills, you will be equipped to develop your research skills in your major.

Your FYSEM Library Instruction is designed to help you...

• Find the gateways to library services, books and articles on the Library Home Page
• Identify where the various types of publications appear in an Information Cycle
• Know when reference materials will best suit your research needs
• Define your audience and purpose
• Recognize the differences between popular and scholarly sources
• Perform multiple-term searches in an article database
• Evaluate the sources you uncover
• Locate books and full-text articles
• Differentiate among citations for books, articles, chapters and websites

If you're in a Writing Intensive FYSem, the 2nd Session is designed to further help you...

• Refine your search results using options such as database-supplied words, truncation, and date limits
• Access articles and books that Bush Memorial Library does not own in print or online (Interlibrary Loan/ILLiad)
• Organize and save your book and article citations, secure a path back to the full-text, and create the rough draft of a Works Cited page (RefWorks)
