     Information Literacy—Ashford University Library Experience

[WLOs: 3, 4] [CLOs: 3, 4]
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 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 with each paragraph consisting of five or more sentences,

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.
