Research isn’t just about finding a few sources for one assignment. Over time, it’s about developing habits that make you a stronger thinker and writer in any field.
The short videos above introduce the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, a set of core ideas that describe how successful students and researchers approach information.
Think of the framework as the “big picture” of what you’ll be practicing not only in this course, but across your entire academic career. You don’t need to master these ideas right away—in fact, mastering them is essentially the point of your coursework as a whole. Every class you take will reinforce some part of this framework. What’s valuable here is recognizing the concepts early, giving them names, and approaching them with intention. That way, you can internalize them more quickly, apply them more effectively, and set yourself up for even greater success as a student.
Peer Review is the process by which an article is evaluated by a group of specialists in its given field prior to being "accepted" for publication.
It attempts to certify that published articles meet a standard of accuracy, originality, and scholarly integrity.
Watch the video below and please meet with a librarian or ask at the Q&i Desk to get help in finding peer reviewed material. We are happy to help.
