Description
Scholarly articles have long been viewed as the gold standard for use in undergraduate research assignments, but are they always the best option? In this workshop, we’ll challenge the assumption that scholarly articles are the pinnacle of evidence for research assignments, dipping into research from library science, reading studies, and learning theories. We’ll highlight alternative formats well-suited for undergraduate research and suggest practical techniques in support of credible research beyond requiring peer-reviewed articles. This session is ideal for librarians and educators interested in rethinking research assignments and promoting a broader view of credible sources.
