Logue Library: Information Literacy: Home

What is a librarian and why do I need one?

A librarian is a professional with a master's degree in Library & Information Science whose sole job is to help you efficiently and effectively find and evaluate scholarly sources. Asking for help finding sources is in no way cheating and not a reflection on your search skills - helping is what we're here to do! We don't know everything, but we can help you find anything - just ask! Librarians & student workers are available to help you in-person, as well as via chat, email, and phone during operating hours.

Tips for reading a scholarly article

Read the abstract - this is a summary of the article and is what you can expect to learn from it
Read the conclusion - this is a wrap up of the piece and another summary
Read the introduction - this will tell you how the topic is approached
Read the body - this gives the details of the research
Read the literature review - this will give you more published research on the topic
Review the bibliography (references) - this may lead you to more sources for your topic
Reread the article from start to finish - for better comprehension
