Explore topics for your paper or project. What motivates you?
Explore the library's information resources.
Start to gather information for an assignment.
Draft & revise with help from librarians & departments in the GAC
Your first assignment for the class is the annotation of a journal article - you should leave the library today with possibilities for this assignment, if not the article you'll ultimately choose.
This builds into your annotated bibliography later in the semester, then a full-fledged research paper. You will be using APA.
For this assignment you will be using APA as your citation style.
