The Big Picture
During your time in the program I will meet with you in selected classes to help you expand your skills in locating scholarly literature. These skills will give you confidence in knowing where to search, how to search, how to distinguish quality literature, and how to obtain the literature you locate.
Before we get in the trees, let's get a view of the forest. The graphics below illustrate a process for library research, sources of information, the timeline of information, evaluation of information. Consider the inter-related "big picture." When we say searching is iterative, keep this bigger picture -- and all the connections you will be exploring -- in mind.
I look forward to working with you during your doctoral journey.
Best,
Kelly
