FP Bibliography and Source Evaluation Library Assignment

This assignment requires that you find your sources using either*:

• the library catalog (AKA, Knox Primo)
• library databases

You can always access Knox Primo from the homepage of the library website. 

You can also access all library databases from the library website. Select the Database tab in the "Research Help" box. From there, you can either open the drop down menu and select the specific database you want, or you can open the A - Z Database list to search for a database. On the A - Z list you can browse by both subject (e.g., education) and by type (e.g., news sources).

*NOTE: Your FP instructor may have asked you to look for sources outside of the library catalog and databases. If this is the case for your class, this will be outlined in your assignment instructions.
