Interactive tutorial from Rutgers University for students covering these areas: Selecting a topic, finding sources, selecting keywords, identifying citations, evaluating sources. Includes database searching using example of EBSCO, importing citations with RefWorks.

Thanks Amanda. I like the interactive nature of the site. It is very smooth and informative. I think Uni students would have the stamina to go through the options offered but I wonder about high school students' ability to stay with it.

Thanks for sharing, Amanda. I've marked this assignment as complete on Lore.

I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool.  haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information. 

I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.

Thanks for sharing this link, Lisa. I've marked you Assignment 2 as complete in Lore.

Looking for best practice 'Library Research Skills' for year 7's and I came across this link which I thought would be suitable for year 10's upwards. Any one else know of any other online self paced e-learning tools ranked and sequenced for secondary year levels???
