Time to Search Independently

Independent Searching (15 minutes)

  • We now have time for searching in Academic Search Complete and/or UC Library Search to find information on our own research questions.

To Do: Before the 15 minutes are done ...

  1. Identify a resource that you may use for your research
  2. Copy the title of a resource that looks useful, and add the citation to the article in MLA format in Column E in the Google spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l1nVPYFe3KlV2raPGTaNalQoY6_WB9m4V_3SoqvtpNg/edit?usp=sharing).
  3. Take a look at the A-Z Databases list, available from the UC Merced Library website. Find a database -- NOT Academic Search Complete -- that you think might be a good source of information for your topic or research question, and enter it in Column D.

We will re-convene after 15 minutes.
