Research and Citations
The Research and Citations tab includes content for helping students with finding and evaluating sources, fact checking and understanding bias, as well as citing sources both in text and at the end of a project. If interested in using any of the sources provided in the Writing Repository, please download documents and/or copy links and add them to your Blackboard course shells. Students should not be given direct access to this instructor-facing Lib Guide. Thank you.
