Trial: ProQuest Research Companion

Through January 5, we have a trial to an interesting database: ProQuest Research Companion. It’s a set of interactive tutorials for students to help them learn how to find, evaluate, and use information. Since we have this trial for a limited time, please try to take a look at it as soon as you can and send Mike your feedback (or post them as comments here). A link to the database is on the “Trials” tab of the “Databases” page. I’m thinking that even if we decide to take a pass on this product, it might be a source of some good ideas about techniques and approaches to teaching information literacy.

One thought on “Trial: ProQuest Research Companion”

  1. I think the students would like the database “ProQuest Research Companion.”
    The information is presented in a format that is easy to understand and to the point. The citation section would be very helpful!
