Are .org sources more credible? Should students be discouraged from using Wikipedia or Google Scholar as part of the research process? Students, and sometimes even instructors, may have a wide range of misconceptions or outdated notions when it comes to information searching and research assignments.

In this workshop, participants will learn about some common but outdated understandings about how to find, evaluate and use information as part of the research process. Participants will also collaborate to update these notions to provide more effective guidance to students. This workshop is intended for course instructors, graduate teaching associates, instructional support staff and librarians.
