Great Ideas from the Libguide by Alesha Baker

I took the quiz to test my knowledge of the difference between scholarly vs. popular publications and that was interesting to see if I knew all the answers. I learned a lot of the information in the research class I took last semester. The NSU library resources and videos are very helpful.

Purdue OWL APA

2019-04-07 19:22:36 UTC

Purdue OWL is a resource I constantly use and it is mentioned on the NSU Library Libguide as a way to help prevent plagiarism. Looking over this website has helped me a lot when it comes to figuring out my APA citations. One particular page that has been helpful is the Sample Paper. It gives notes in the margins about what APA format requires and is a good visual tool for someone just starting out on APA. Here is the link for it: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/apa_sample_paper.html

I thought it interesting that the Library of Congress offered sections for teachers to use for classroom planning with common core and state content standards. https://www.loc.gov/teachers/

Google Scholar

I really liked the section that explained how to use Google Scholar and all the helpful tips it gave. I have never used that tool before and it was helpful to have all the information on one page. I will definitely use it in the future.

Citing

I find it very helpful that the libguide had a whole tab over citations. Citations confuse me and I'm sure a lot of other students. This is helpful information to look at and use as a guide when citing papers. The citations tab gives the user resources, guidelines, and websites.

YouTube Videos

I really liked the YouTube videos available to help with Refworks. I learn so much better when I can hear the information and see it at the same time.

Find Books Tab

I found the find books tab very helpful. I plan to visit the library tomorrow and now feel confident of where to go when I get there. I also really appreciate that they supply you with links to the different maps of all three levels.

DocsTeach

I found the link to the National Archives helpful. The National Archives offers this online tool called DocsTeach where students work on activities using primary sources.

Find Articles

I found the "Find Articles' section very easy to navigate. In just a few clicks, I was right where I needed to be- The Cell Image Library!

Interesting find at the NSU Lib guides

I spent much more time looking around the lib guides for various subject areas than I thought I would. For the guide for this course, I enjoyed testing my knowledge of scholarly vs popular information quiz. I fell for a popular magazine as scholarly and missed one question. It was fun to poke around these guides.

Lib Guide Content

I felt overwhelmed looking at the LibGuide at first. Then after reading through many of the contents listed I realized how great the resource is in having almost everything we could need in knowledge on being a librarian. I really liked the recommend reading information and the recently challenged books site that was shared. There is constant change going on in our libraries across the nation with books being challenged.

Evaluating Websites

Under the tab "Other Online Resources" I found the information about Evaluating Websites very helpful. It was a great reminder that publishing on the Internet is very easy! It listed the five criteria for evaluating websites. It also offered two more websites for guidelines to evaluating online sources.

Youth and Curriculum Collections

Since I mainly spend my time at the BA campus I didnt realize that the Talequah campus housed different state approved curriculums. I thought that this was very interesting. I know that my district purchases curriculum every 5-6 years, but this could be a great resource to use if I wanted to look for a lesson/unit that was in another curriculum. This was a very helpful guide that I didn't know was that easy to search through.
