INFORMATION-LITERACY TUTORIALS:
THE PLANNING STAGE

The tutorials and articles in the Planning Stage will help students gain a better understanding of the requirements, criteria, and skills needed to complete the research project.

The Planning Stage contains answers to questions such as: 1) How do I create a research project?; 2) What types of technology will I need to use to create a research project?; and 3) How do I tell the difference between a scholarly vs. a popular journal / periodical? Information about all these questions and more can be found in the tutorials of the Planning Stage.
