Objectives of this LibGuide
OBJECTIVES:
1) To use the encyclopedia the way I used it back in the day. This was my introduction to research.
- Let's find the publication date
- Turn to any page
- Select any topic
- Read or skim the article
- Familiarize yourself with the book
2) To learn how to use the library's online encyclopedia databases.
I will demonstrate the following:
- How to find the encyclopedias via the Pima Community College Library website
- How to view the collection
- How to perform a basic search
- How to select a date range
- How to search for information using the Topic Finder
- How to email yourself what you find
- Use the Listen, Increase Font Size, Translation options
- Use the "Book View" option
Then we'll perform a search together
Then you'll perform one on your own using the same topic you found in the print encyclopedia
3) Compare the two methods to discuss the pros and cons.
