Information Literacy – Ashford University Library Experience

Knowing how to thoroughly research a topic is extremely important while achieving your education. You may be asked to support your information with peer-reviewed scholarly resources, but how can you find this type of resource? The Ashford University Library allows you to search through different avenues to find the requested types of resources. You can narrow your search by the author, year published, title, subject, and also by indicating what type of resource you are looking for. You even have access to a librarian if you need some guidance in finding more resources on your topic.

In a two- to three-paragraph response

  • Describe your experiences using resources, including      concerns encountered when conducting academic research through the Ashford      University Library. Areas of concern may include developing a research      strategy, using the search function within a database, or evaluating      sources.
  • Explain how using the Ashford University Library has      improved your experience in conducting research.

The response must be formatted according to APA style. Each paragraph should be at least five sentences. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center.
