Library Research


I haven’t been to the library yet. On the website I found it helpful that there’s a live chat where you can talk to a librarian. I learned what a library database is. It is helpful because it gives you good quality information, unlike some websites, like Wikipedia. I learned about the CRAP test. It’s used to evaluate sources based on currency, reliability, authority and purpose / point of view. I learned how to use OhioLINK to order books from other schools if our library doesn’t have it. The book will arrive in approximately 3 business days. I found where I can look up citations, which can be helpful. I feel like I need to tour the library in person to get the feel of it and where everything is.
