One attribute of a self-reliant, lifelong learner is information literacy—the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information. When you are information literate, you are a critical consumer of information who knows how to access accurate and relevant information whenever you need it. Chapter 7, Thriving at Trident, walks you through the steps needed to gather scholarly information and ensure you are producing quality work. Take the time to read this chapter before you start Module 1’s SLP.

Trident offers a comprehensive library to all students and faculty, and it is important that you know how to access and decipher important information to ensure your success at Trident. The resources include databases such as Academic Search Complete, ProQuest Central, and Ebrary. These sources provide access to thousands of publications and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Based on your program of study, choose the book chapter below that you will retrieve using the Trident Online Library. If you are undecided about your program of study, choose the book chapter that is most interesting to you. You will review only one book chapter.

Use the Chapter 7 strategies to review the chapter and complete the Information Literacy and Research Strategies. Once you have completed the activity worksheet, submit it in the Dropbox.
