Skunk Ape..?!

The Skunk Ape tutorial was put together to help students learn how to find valuable resources for whatever it is that they need. It is really easy to get lost when looking for a specific topic and this tutorial helps show students how to narrow down there research and stay on the right topic. It shows exactly how to get to databases and what are the right keywords to use while searching. When starting a paper or whatever it is that the research is needed for it is important to know something. Anything really. So google is an okay place to start but it doesn't end there so that's what this tutorial is basically trying to show, the places after google. Going into this from the start I had no idea what a Skunk Ape was and if it even existed. Although the tutorial is boring it actually takes you through the research for the Skunk Ape which is the cool part about it. Besides not knowing what a Skunk Ape was I also had no idea that it was possible to get the online version of books through the library database from a different school. That is so useful and actually very cool! I also had no idea that it was possible to get chapters of books on the databases. I thought you could only get journals and scholarly writings and newspapers not actual book chapters.  I was glad to know all the information on plagiarism and the works cited as well as in text citation. This tutorial helps me personally as a student feel more prepared to take on a research paper! (:
