Conducting Research and Evaluating Sources

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to research a topic, collect data, practice APA format, write an article summary, and compare Internet resources to research-database resources. If you have not already, review the unit lessons Locating Articles in an Online Research Database and How to Write an Article Summary.
Step 1
Select a topic you would like to explore, and locate ONE article from one of the CSU Online Library databases (i.e., Academic OneFile, Business Source Complete, Criminal Justice Periodicals Index, Dissertations & Theses Database, General OneFile, GreenFILE, etc.). Read the article, and write an article summary.

? Paraphrase at least one portion with in-text citation in APA format
? Have at least one direct quote with in-text citation in APA format

Step 2
Through your favorite search engine (i.e., Google), conduct a search for the same topic, and examine the differences in the results of an Internet search and the results of a search through the CSU Online Library. Using the guidelines for Evaluating Sources, briefly describe the differences between results from your Internet search and the results from your search through the CSU Online Library.
Your response for Step 2 should include at least 150 words.
Combine Steps 1 and 2 into one document, and submit them as one project.
