• Help you develop effective search strategies.
• Locate the information you need within our library.
• Obtain books, articles, cds, etc. from other libraries.
• Find additional information from citation lists/bibliographies.
• Judge the quality & reliability of information.

• Cite information correctly (e.g. APA style).
• Demonstrate how to use citation resources.
• Tell the difference between various literature types.
