Activity
- Working individually or with a partner, use Library Search and one sociology-specific library database (SocIndex or Sociological Abstracts) to find sources about your potential topic. You will find 2 sources total. One from each database.
- When you've found something that looks relevant, copy & paste the citation into the Padlet below in the correct column.
- TIP: To determine relevance, be sure to read the Description paragraph provided by Library Search or the Abstract at the beginning of the article.
- We will debrief as a group, so be thoughtful about your search experience. Consider the following:
- Which database did you like better and why? What keywords did you use that were successful? What type of source did you find? How is it relevant to your topic?
