By the end of this in-class session you should be able to:

• Design appropriate search strategies for your research as your information needs evolve
• Differentiate between SciFinder, Web of Science, and Google Scholar in order to determine which are most relevant for your information needs, and be able to navigate them effectively
• Understand how to get materials the Library does not own (InterLibrary Loan)
• Be able to articulate one method of efficiently reviewing scientific articles
• Be able to articulate the value of citation management software, and know where to find software available to do so

You will need a copy of the CHEM 390 Library Session - Worksheet to complete in-class tasks. The link below goes to a Google Document.  If you'd like to take notes in the worksheet, make sure you make a copy of it.
