CHST 100: Advanced Writing for Research in Social Sciences

Welcome to the CHST 100 Library Guide

Purpose of the Library Guide

Welcome!  Use this LibGuide in your Child Studies class to help you:

 

  • Establish background information for your research topic
  • Find scholarly discussion related to your research topic
  • Identify strategies for growing your annotated bibliography (cited by, pearl growing, works cited)
Kick off activity: What thorny issues are you encountering with your annotated bibliography research?

Grow Your Citations: Use 1 Article to Find Another

Find 1 scholarly article that looks like it has potential for your topic. You can "grow" your literature review using this article by finding 1 article it cites (finding the "before" conversation), and looking for 1 article that cites it (finding the "after" conversation). 

Once you have chosen your article, use the article's references list to find the "before" conversation and use Google Scholar to find the "after" conversation. 

To find the full-text of those articles in the library, use the Library Journal Finder.

Post the citations for your 3 articles in this Jamboard under your name.
