Develop Search Terms

To start this assignment, complete the Generating Search Terms worksheet. The Generating Search Terms worksheet will help you select the major concepts in your revised research question. Note: You will not submit this worksheet, but will need it for Step 2.

Find Two Scholarly Journal Articles and One E-Book

Now you are ready to search for scholarly journal articles and one e-book. Review the steps for using FindIt@AU by completing the GEN 103: Introduction to the Ashford University Library (Links to an external site.) tutorial.

• Consult with Ashford Library Tutoring to find relevant search results. You will select your first scholarly journal article from these results. Please note you must access the session from your course. See this tip sheet (Links to an external site.) for help connecting with a librarian.
  • Bring your revised research question and two to five search terms to the chat session.
  • Once the tutoring session ends, a transcript of your session will be sent to the e-mail address you’ve provided. You will include the tutoring summary as part of the assignment. Please note a tutoring session needs to last at least five minutes to receive a summary.
  • Download and save the full text article so you can review it later.
• Use FindIt@AU and the skills you learned in your session to locate your second scholarly journal article. Download and save the full text article so you can review it later.
• Use your search terms and the Ashford University Library EBook Central database to find one e-book that relates to your research question. Watch the
• Ebook Central Overview and Searching (Links to an external site.) video for help with using this database.

For each source, make note of the information you need to construct references and locate each source again.

Construct APA References for These Sources

Remembering what you learned about how to format references in the APA Skill Activity, construct APA references for your sources. Write those references in the Library Sources Annotated Bibliography template. Check your reference format using the Ashford Writing Center’s Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) to ensure they are correct.

Write Annotations for These Sources

Now, you will write annotations for the two scholarly articles and one e-book. Write the annotations in your own words on the Library Sources Annotated Bibliography template. The annotations must be two paragraphs long and must address the points below. Provide brief descriptions or explanations to support your answers:

Paragraph 1: Summarize

• What kind of source is this?
• What is the thesis or main claim of the source?
• What evidence or claims does the source present in support of the thesis? Present at least two examples of support the source uses.

Paragraph 2: Evaluate
