Note to students: If you do not know how to search the published research literatures, I suggest that you make an appointment with a University librarian and have them show you how to search research literature databases. You will need to search the research literature for an upcoming assignment that will be due in Session 5. Tell the librarian to focus their instruction with you on searching the educational and psychological journal literatures. |
