COMP 2000 Advanced College Writing

Before class gets started, please do the following:

1) Sign in to the attendance form provided by the librarian.

2) Bookmark the COMP 2000 course library guide: lib.nova.edu/comp2000.
(You may need to refer back to it to complete homework assignments.)

Welcome!  This course guide highlights library resources and research strategies to help with class assignments.

After reviewing this guide, you will better understand:

• how to use Ask A Librarian and Library Guides for help
• how to refine your research topic/question
• how to develop effective search strategies
• how to perform an advanced search in databases to find articles

There is too much information about the library to cover all at once, so librarians will also visit the following courses to focus on specific concepts:

• UNIV 1000 - Introduction to the library, guided tour, an overview of free resources and services (e-books, 3D printing, etc.) and accessing in-person and digital resources.

• COMP 1500 - Introduction to scholarly/popular sources, strategies for evaluation, search, and finding sources in databases.

• BIOL 1500 - Introduction to finding scholarly articles for your lab report and citing with APA citation style. 

• BIOL 1510 - Introduction to scientific publication concepts and guidance on finding articles for lab reports.
