FYSE 1330 - Economic Development: Ground Up #1
This activity will walk you through the process of using library tools to gather information across different types of resources. In the process of working on a research project, you will need to consult and use a variety of resource types:
* Primary sources
* Secondary sources
* Reference works (e.g. encyclopedia articles, aka 'tertiary' sources)
* Scholarly articles (e.g. from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals)
* Popular articles (e.g. from magazines or newspapers)
* Books
* Films/video
* etc.
You will use these different sources in different ways, and you will use different tools and strategies to find and evaluate these sources.
For this exercise, we will be focusing on the topic of the Adolescent Girls Initiative in Kenya. We have our topic here, but we still need more information. We'll be looking for some resources to help us with this.
