Time to Search Independently

Independent Searching (20 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 20 minutes are done ...

  1. Identify a resource that you may use for your research.
  2. Copy the citation in MLA style for the resource and add the citation to your row on the spreadsheet for your class.

We will re-convene after ~20 minutes for a discussion of your search results.
