End of Module 3

You have completed Module 3. Return to Blackboard and answer the questions under the final Module 3 library assignment. Leave this tutorial window open so that you can refer back to it when needed. If you have any questions or problems related to the tutorial, e-mail your librarians, Camille Andrews: ca92@cornell.edu or Kate Ghezzi-Kopel: kwg37@cornell.edu.

In Module 3, you learned how to:

  • Develop an effective search strategy by combining key concepts in a research question using Boolean operators (AND, OR, quotations, parentheses)
  • Describe the difference between a database and a search tool
  • Use the library website to identify subject-specific databases
  • Apply your search strategy and select 4 studies relevant to your question

You should now have the tools you need to develop a search strategy for your controversial nutrition topic. You will be able to use these skills as the course continues.
