Plagarism
Plagiarism involves using someone else's work or ideas and claiming it as your own. It is important to provide citations for any work you use to give credit to the original author and allow others to find the source. You can use someone else's words or ideas if you properly cite them by including the author's name, date, and source in a formal citation.
Library Skills Class 5
Boolean operators like AND, OR, and AND NOT can be used to combine search terms to either narrow or broaden a search. AND requires all terms to be present, OR requires only one term, and AND NOT excludes results containing the excluded term. George Boole was a mathematician who developed the system of Boolean logic upon which Boolean searching is based. The document instructs the recipient to select a middle school database, find its help section on Boolean searching, email the link to that page along with details on what that specific database states about Boolean searching.
WebSite Evaluating
This document discusses evaluating sources for credibility and bias. It addresses the differences between primary and secondary sources and how to assess usefulness, credibility and bias. Key factors include credentials of authors and publishers, date of publication, accuracy, presence of bias, and corroboration by other sources. Red flags for credibility include anonymity, lack of documentation, and conflicts of interest. The type of website domain (.edu, .gov, .org, etc.) can provide clues about the source.
Library Skills Week 5
This document discusses how young people are adept at using technology to find information but often struggle to evaluate its credibility. It provides questions to ask when evaluating online information, including "Who is the source?", "What am I getting?", "When was the site created?", "Where am I?", "Why am I here?", and "How can I tell this is a quality website?". The document then analyzes a hypothetical blog claiming to provide information about "pherotones" and determines it is likely not a credible source through investigating factors like the author's credentials, currency of the information, and nature of the hosting website. Students are reminded to consider the purpose and authenticity of websites when conducting online research.
