Welcome to week three of this research project! How's it going? I hope you're making good progress, feeling confident in your topic, and finding interesting and relevant sources.
To keep pace with this project you should be evaluating at least two scholarly sources per day between now and when your Annotated Bibliography post is due (Friday, April 4th). And remember, all five sources you list on your Annotated Bibliography should be scholarly.
Now, beware! Some people assume that finding a source through the library's website automatically means the source is scholarly. While our library provides access to many credible sources, not each one in your results list can be categorized as scholarly.
If you're still feeling a little confused about the difference between a popular and academic source, check out this info-graphic from North Carolina State University's library.
And, as you're researching make sure you're also writing; The Curious Researcher includes specific advice on how to incorporate writing into the research phase so that you're writing your essay as you go. No last minute procrastination for you.
Happy researching (and writing)!
