The UF Libraries and the Center for Instructional Technology and Training have produced an interactive, web-based tutorial called Research 101. The tutorial focuses on library research skills that you’ll need to do well on the writing assignments for this course. From the tutorial website:

Research 101 introduces basic research skills that are essential to every college student, regardless of your interests or degree area. In the tutorials, you will learn how information comes into being, and become knowledgeable about the wide variety of sources that are available for library research today. You will also learn searching techniques to help you quickly identify the best books, articles or web sites, and strategies for evaluating the quality and usability of such sources. You will also learn how to navigate the large UF Libraries system and become acquainted with research assistance services for students.

I encourage you to take time to work through the tutorial. Leave a comment below to let us know what parts of the tutorial are helpful (or not).
