Activity 2. Resource Exploration Activity

During the seminar, in your groups, find 5 reliable resources (with at least 3 from the library) that would be useful for your case study. 2 resources that are not from the library may be allowed, but must come from a reliable source. 

NOTE: we are asking for specific resources NOT an entire database, so for example you would pick a specific industry report from the database IBISWorld but not the IBISWorld database as a whole.  

 For each of these resources, you need to:

  1. Provide a proper citation for the resource

  2. Write one sentence as to why this resource would be useful for their case

  3. Write one sentence with the pros of using this resource

  4. Write one sentence with the cons of using this resource

  • Hand this into your seminar manager at the end of the class
  • Include an example of what 1 reliable resource description may look like

Activity 3. Seminar Reflection

  1. How is this library the same or different from other libraries you have used or know of? What surprised you about the library?

  2. What library service or resource do you think you will use the most? What service or resource might you recommend to a classmate or friend?

  3. What do you think will be the most challenging part of using the library?
