1 Library Research Unit Exercises: English Composition I (Rev. 9-19) DIRECTIONS TO THE LIBRARY WEBSITE From on-campus- go to (Hint: There is a library icon that links to the library homepage in the upper right-hand corner of every page of VU s website.) From off-campus- go to log in and then click on VU Libraries in the VU Links box. WHY USE LIBRARY RESOURCES INSTEAD OF WIKIPEDIA? Resources from VU Libraries are considered authoritative and reliable because these scholarly works are written by experts in their fields, and subjected to an editorial process, fact-checking, or peer-review by professionals in the field. While Wikipedia can be an acceptable starting point for gathering background information, it is never an acceptable resource to cite in academic papers because its articles can be created or edited by anyone with computer access and do not go through the same editorial or peer review processes as most library resources. I. OneVU DISCOVERY TOOL (Search all library resources) The OneVU Discovery Tool basic and advanced interfaces can be used to find periodical articles, books, ebooks, music CDs, DVDs, and Reference Books. It contains a helpful citation tool to generate MLA, APA or other citations for the various formats. In addition, you can manage your personal library account, create lists, discover items through other users lists, and more. Exercise 1: (Basic Search) Use the instructions above to access the VU Libraries website. 1. Select Vincennes University from the drop-down menu (will search all holdings). 2. Use the preselected (default) Everything tab. 3. Search for marijuana. 4. Click the GO button. a. How many search results did you retrieve with this search? 5.
