1. Paste the MLA citation EBSCO Host offered you for the Gibbs article here:
GIBBS, NANCY. "Roaring Tigers, Anxious Choppers." Time 177.4 (2011): 68.
Academic Search Premier. Web. 12 Nov. 2014.
2. Compare that to the citation you see below, which is done (by a human) in
MLA format.
Gibbs, Nancy. "Roaring Tigers, Anxious Choppers." Time 31 Jan. 2011: 68.
Academic Search Premier . Web. 19 Sep. 2014.
What differences do you see?
The second line of the citation is not indented. The author’s name is all in capital letters. The citation is also not double spaced.
What does that tell you about trusting the database’s offering of a citation?
I should double check on if I am citing a source correctly. I should also capitalize only some parts of the citation. I also need to format the citation in a hanging indent format. In addition, the citation has to be double spaced.
3. As best you can, try to format a source citation for one of the other articles y ou’ve found on this topic.
Lee, Danielle Moss. "Raising the Bar: Welcome to Campus, Class of 2015."
Education Digest 77.6 (2012): 62-64. Academic Search Premier. Web. 12
Nov. 2014.

1. Prepare a threesentence summary of the Danielle Moss Lee “Raising the Bar” article.
The article talks about welcoming its incoming class of 2015. It states how not everyone is getting the same opportunities to do well in school. Danielle Moss encourages students to support equal education.
2. Prepare a five-sentence assessment of the article using the CAPOW criteria that you learned last time.
The C stands for credibility, which analyzes if the article is reliable. The A stands for authority, which analyzes t he author’s credentials. The P stands for purpose, which analyzes why the article is published. The O stands for objectivity, which analyzes if the article is biased or not. The W stands for writing style, which analyzes how the article is written or typed.
3. Explain here how this article might be useful to you if you were writing a paper on this topic. What would you use? What would you leave out? What other information would you need to go find to supplement what this article offers?

1. What other databases did you use to find information on this topic?
(Remember the suggestion that Opposing Viewpoints in Context should be one of them.)
2. Why did you choose the one(s) you did?
3. Were your search terms useful, or did you have to experiment with modifying them? List below the search terms you ended up using.
4. Look at the top ten results for one of the additional databases. What kind of articles or other sources do you get, and how might you compare them to the ones from EBSCO Host? Are they longer, shorter, from a different kind of source
(say, newspapers versus journals or the other way around)? Please note some comparisons and contrasts here:
5. Compare the database itself to EBSCO Host. What differences do you note in how it works? Where is the “Advanced” search button? What is the default sorting strategy it uses
—is it by date, relevance, length, or something else?
6. Now search the library catalogue for books. What does the library have on this topic? Are the titles listed available right now? Where are they (that is, what are their call numbers and locations)?
