CLIP Research Tutorials  

CLIP research tutorials specifically address the larger ideas of information literacy.

Use the tabs above to learn how to develop a topic for your paper, generate search terms, use library databases, search the Internet successfully, and evaluate sources when you find them.

Learn to tell the difference between popular/scholarly and primary/secondary sources, how to incorporate sources into your writing, and why it is important to cite them. (Look for the Voice Markers tutorial beneath "Why Cite?" to learn how to incorporate citations into your writing.)
