Q Evaluating a Resource As you learned from this week's resources, there are many academic, library, and Internet databases you can use to search for resources related to your research topic. The resources also suggest a process for searching and criteria for screening the resources you find. In this Discussion, you will share ideas about how to develop your own process and criteria that takes into consideration your final goal: finding the most relevant resources that will help you to complete you literature review and address your research questions. To prepare for this activity, look ahead to the Course Project assignments for this week (Annotated Resource List) and in Week 4 (Review of Literature). Explore the Walden Library for resources as directed in this week's Course Project assignment. After conducting a preliminary search, select one of the resources that you determined was not sufficiently credible to use in your literature review. How did you determine that you could not use it? Against what criteria were you evaluating the resource? By Day 3 Post the APA citation of the resource and a brief description of its contents. Then evaluate the resource as it relates to your research questions or problem statement. Describe how you came to the conclusion that you should not use this resource for your literature review. Be sure to refer to this week's resources to support your response. By Day 7 Read a selection of other students' postings. As you read other responses, note those to which you would like to respond with questions, comments, and/or support. Respond to two or more of your colleagues' postings. In your response, offer a critique to the strategy or strategies your colleague used to evaluate the resource. Then, create a general rule or statement of criterion based on the posting of your colleague that summarizes the strategies they used. Return to the Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Reflect on the list of criteria for evaluating research generated by you and your colleagues and how it will help you as you conduct your literature review.
