Here is what I covered today:

  • Why are we here?

**Invited to help you explore what the Purdue Libraries has to offer to support your academic, personal, and professional needs**

  • Information Literacy
  • How do you search for books and ebooks in the Purdue Libraries?
  • How do you retrieve the full text of a known article, through Google Scholar and the Purdue Libraries databases?
  • What are the differences between popular and scholarly articles?
  • How do you develop a database search strategy?
  • How do you select a database to search?
  • How do you input a search in the database successfully?

Here is what I didn't get to cover, but you can explore on your own, or ask me questions about at any time:
