Digital Resources for Students: Navigating Scholarship in a Changing Terrain
Klucevsek, Kristin M.; Brungard, Allison B.
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v20 n4 p597-619 Oct 2020
The rapid growth and change in scientific and other scholarly publications have made it more challenging to find appropriate resources for a research need. This difficulty is further complicated by research articles that target only a specific audience of experts. With a rise in digital technologies, research can be shared in new ways, allowing for novel methods of evaluation and collaboration in the sciences, as well as other disciplines. In this article, the authors describe digital resources to help students and other researchers discover, interpret, and evaluate information. Some resources also promote collaboration and discussion on research topics in a classroom or research group. Students can benefit from library and course instruction that emphasizes how these tools connect with the process of creating new scholarship. Teaching about these resources could also offer valuable opportunities for metacognition and transfer beyond the classroom.
