Editor's Notes
- #3 Anything here you can relate to?
- #4 Every discipline has unique approaches to research AND you’ve probably discovered some of this already so won’t go into detail.
- #5 HOWEVER…There are commonalities among the disciplines. You’ll find you can learn from each other even if working in different disciplines. Included this chart b/c includes REFLECTION in in the heading. Even though gone thru the lit review process, you’ve probably found that continually have to go back to the literature. Keeping up w/ new scholarship (2) Based on what you find as you collect data & analyze what you find may see research going in altered direction or realized need to make additional connections
- #10 Want to talk about how librarians can help you as you’re going thru the research process.
- #25 May have been introduced to the INFORMATION CYCLE in terms of newspaper articles covering an event sooner than a scholarly articleBUT wanted to show you this image b/c you’re now part of the INFO CYCLE by conducting original research
