Writing Across the Curriculum
Databases, or When Google Simply Will Not Do

The LIU Brooklyn Library has acquired a wide array of databases, which provide peer-reviewed, authoritative sources of information. However, identifying and working with the databases best suited to one’s research goals can be a daunting task for both faculty and students. This workshop will begin with general guidelines to integrating databases effectively into source-based assignments, followed by separate sessions on discipline-specific databases, led by librarians with expertise in the disciplinary areas.
