Young Scholars Program Summer Justice Institute

Where can I get sources?

For now, we are going to find resources using a tool freely available to residents in the state of Ohio called INFOhio

How can I organize sources?

Keep the citation in a document or folder! 

• Database may have a citation tool
• If not, use generator like Citation Machine or Easybib or to organize a larger number of citations try Zotero
• Verify correct formatting with Purdue OWL
• This is specifically using citation generator in the EBSCO databases-

How can I figure out if a source will work for my assignment?

Content to be added after sessions held 7/10/2023, based on YSP students ideas and suggestions!

Consider:

• As scholars, you will have access to different resources at different points, use what you have access to!
• Connect to your community- when you go to a public library, school library, or academic library, librarians assist and guide you in the areas you are curious about. ASK!

By the end of this session of the Young Scholars Summer Justice Institute, we hope you will be able to:

• Explore different strategies to evaluate scholarly information 

• Explore ways to manage, save, and cite your knowledge and information
