4 “Scholarly material”: 1. Is usually accompanied by advertisements 2. Is usually identifiable by detailed documentation and bibliographies 3. Is written to appeal to a wide audience 4. Will always have the word “journal” in the title

5 Signs of a Scholarly Source  Author is an academic writer, a scientist, or an expert in his/her field  Audience: other professionals  Purpose: to inform  Discussion usually very specific  Bibliography of clearly-cited sources  Has been reviewed by other experts in the field

6 Clues that an article is from a “popular source” include: 1. In-text citations and a bibliography 2. Many graphics and/or advertisements 3. The writer does not assume that the reader has prior knowledge about the topic 4. Both 2 & 3

7 Signs of Popular Sources  Author is usually a freelance or staff writer  Audience: the general public  Purpose: to entertain and inform  Discussion usually general; provides an overview  Sources not cited or mentioned very generally (“Baker says that _____,” but no further citation information is given)  Approved by an editor/editorial board

18 Handling “information overload”

19 InformationSourceHow you processed it Why you processed it that way Create your own grid… whisper with a partner or two… then share with the group

20 Let’s describe a “good” website

21 What to do with your sources?

22 Quoting & citing  If you use someone else’s words in your paper, put them in quotation marks and give author, publication, and page information:  Using technology does have its drawbacks, however. “Since no more than a fixed number of lines of text are visible on a computer screen, you may find it difficult to get a sense of your whole project” (Gibaldi, 2004, p. 59).

23 Another way  If you mention the author’s name in your text, you don’t have to put it in the citation, but you do need to include the other material in parentheses:  As Gibaldi (2004) points out, using technology does have its drawbacks. “Since no more than a fixed number of lines of text are visible on a computer screen, you may find it difficult to get a sense of your whole project” (p. 59).

24 Other uses that need citations:  Paraphrases When only a few lines are visible on a screen, it may be hard to keep the whole project in mind (Gibaldi, 2004, p. 59).  Information Only a few lines are visible at one time on a computer screen (Gibaldi, 2004, p. 59).  Ideas Seeing only a few lines may make it difficult to consider the piece as a whole (Gibaldi, 2004, p. 59).
