Once you have completed Library 101Links to an external site., visit the DU Libraries Website: library.du.eduLinks to an external site.. Brainstorm some keywords and use the website to locate the following items for one of the two topic ideas due Wednesday.

  1. two e-books you plan to examine for relevance
  2. 10 different keyword combinations you will use for searches
  3. two databases* that you will use to find topics (e.g., Lexis-Nexis, Academic Search Complete)
  4. two journals* you will search for material on your subject (e.g., Diabetes, Clinical Nutrition)

Before completing your action plan, be sure you know the difference (Links to an external site.) between a database (Links to an external site.), journal (Links to an external site.), and article. The video below provides an explanation of these differences; note that our library search tool is called Compass (not Omni).
