This guide is to help you navigate your assignment for MGMT100. Look down the column on the left: I labeled each box in the order you should approach your research. There's a video on how to use EBSCOhost, the CRAAPP Test to help you determine if you found the right kind of articles, and then some information on how to cite your sources.
In the right column you'll see my box. Under my photo you'll see a button to click if you'd like to email me your questions. Next you'll see the library widget in which you can ask questions to our librarians. It will be staffed any hour that the library is open. Don't hesitate to reach out for help!
You are required to research a topic in the databases for this assignment. This video, "Demystifying EBSCOhost," will show you how to use a collection of databases that the Library subscribes to through EBSCOhost.
As seen in the video, you'll need to select the most appropriate databases from this collection. Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier would be your best choices for this course generally and this course specifically. Choose both from the list as I did in my video demo, then click the CONTINUE button at the bottom.
Next, you will arrive at the search interface. Type one or two keywords into the blank boxes. You'll probably do best to use "Productivity" or "Time Management" or both. Ignore the limiters on the search page for now--those might filter out results that you want to see. Then click SEARCH to see the results the database has for you.
When you write a paper or create a presentation, you must tell your readers or listeners where you found the information you used. This is both to credit the ideas of others and to let your readers or listeners know where to find more information on your topic. (You've created interest with your fine paper or presentation!) The sources listed below will help you follow MLA style, but if you need more help, make a half-hour appointment with the Academic Success Center (formerly known as the Tutoring Center). They are the campus experts!
