Select one of the following ten topics and include no fewer than five sources (note your sources within the narratives or at the conclusion of your composition). This is a formal library research paper and at least four of your sources must be scholarly articles. The composition should be at least 4-6 pages, double-spaced, 12-font, with standard margins. No cover page should be included and the references cited page doesn’t count towards the minimum length requirement.
A “scholarly source” is one in which the content is written by university professors who are experts in a particular field of study. Scholarly work will thoroughly cite all source materials used and is subject to “peer review” prior to publication. This means that independent experts in the field review, or “referee” the publication to check the accuracy and validity of its claims. 99 percent of the time, webpages are NOT scholarly sources and therefore should not be used. An exception would be where a university professor has posted a copy of one or more of his publications on his or her faculty webpage. Scholarly sources must be found on the CCC Library’s ProQuest and EBSCOhost databases. So I should see at least five references to clickable links that take me to CCC library content.
