Library Workshop Series

Let's make sure we are all comfortable with distinguishing between different types of sources, particularly popular, trade, and academic. We'll review the chart to the right, and then use the worksheet to work with a set of articles. 

If we need examples for class, we can compare these two sources: 

• Selig, K. (2022, July 18). Study finds 2,800 Massachusetts deaths in 2019 connected to air pollution. Boston Globe. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/18/science/study-finds-2800-deaths-2019-massachusetts-connected-air-pollution/

• Landrigan, P.J., Fisher, S., Kenny, M.E. et al. (2022). A replicable strategy for mapping air pollution’s community-level health impacts and catalyzing prevention. Environmental Health 21, 70. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-022-00879-3

What about when we compare these?

• McCollum, S. (2019, October 30). Hip-Hop: A Culture of Vision and Voice. The Kennedy Center: Digital Resources Library. https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/resources-for-educators/classroom-resources/media-and-interactives/media/hip-hop/hip-hop-a-culture-of-vision-and-voice/
