LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Students will clarify their research questions. ACRL Framework:

Research as Inquiry

Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers in turn develop additional questions or lines of inquiry in any field.

2. Students will develop appropriate research strategies and techniques for searching databases. ACRL Framework:

Searching as Strategic Exploration

Searching for information is often nonlinear and iterative, requiring the evaluation of a range of information sources and the mental flexibility to pursue alternate avenues as new understanding develops.
