Page 3: When TVT graduating seniors go off to college: We hope that they will ask meaningful questions We hope that the next step of their research journey will

• Read : You need context, a basic level of understanding (limited vocabulary will limit your results) 

• When you search, enter the most important words first  (be on the lookout for synonyms and related terms)

• Consider what words the author of these documents might include (Mine your best results and the best documents for new words or phrases)

• Try nouns first (unless you are looking for graphics –adjectives)

Use the subject headings—the controlled vocabulary–that appear in library database, to take advantage of the work the database does to group like stuff together, to organize knowledge

What exactly are we reading? 

Is it a magazine or journal article, a reference entry, real-time news article, a blog post, the stream of a Twitter hashtag, a wiki page? 

Is it academic/peer-reviewed or popular? 

 

Lines are getting blurrier but college professors may prefer scholarly content.
