Web Search
Tutorials for Students
Vaughn Memorial Library at Acadia University hosts a series of four free animated tutorials designed to teach students lessons on web research strategies. The 1. Credible Sources Count students learn how to recognize the validity of information on the Internet. It's a good tutorial except for a strong emphasis on using domain names for determining validity.
2.
Research It Right walks students through the process of
forming a research question through the actual research steps.
3.
Searching With Success shows students how
search engines function. The tutorial gives clear examples and directions for
altering search terms.
4.
You Quote It, You Note It shows students
what plagiarism is and how to avoid accidentally plagiarizing someone's work.
The Kentucky
Virtual Library hosts an interactive
map of the research process for students. The map, titled How To
Do Research, walks students through the research process from start
to finish with every step along the way. One of the things about this map that
school librarians will like is that it is not focused solely on web
research. How To Do Research includes a good section
about using library catalogs, books, and magazines.
