Find It! – beyond Google and Wikipedia
 Library Website
Provides guidance on how to locate and retrieve information effectively
• E-Journals & Databases
Use It!
 Helps students to develop a critical approach to the sources of information and
gives advice on how to evaluate the quality of the information they find
• Who wrote the text you are reading? Can you determine the
author's credentials?
• What is it? Is it a journal article or perhaps a passage from an e-
book, or does it come from a company report, a tweet or a
newspaper article?
• Why was this text written? Consider the motives of the author –
are they trying to persuade, to demonstrate or prove something?
• When was it written? It is not always the case that the most
recently published information is the best so think carefully about
this.
• Relevant to your own work?
