What is ProQuest Research Companion
ProQuest Research Companion was built to help students do more effective scholarly research with access to scholarly journals, books, newspapers and magazines. Also included are supporting materials for educators as they teach the core information literacy principles of finding, evaluating, and using information.
More than 80 short videos are organized into nine Learning Modules that answer questions like "How do I choose a topic?" "Where do I find information?" and "How do I evaluate sources?"
Access provided courtesy of the California State Library.
