Reminder: Outdated Notion: Scholarly Articles Are the Gold Standard

[Hammons, Jane]

Hi all

Just a reminder that all are welcome to join us for this free upcoming webinar, being hosted by The Ohio State University Libraries and presented by the librarians from the University of New Mexico.

 

Outdated Notion: Scholarly Articles Are the Gold Standard

June 4, 2026, 12;00-1:00 (Eastern)
To register: https://go.osu.edu/scholarlyarticlessu26

Presenters: Adrienne Warner and Alyssa Russo, University of New Mexico

 

Scholarly articles have long been viewed as the gold standard for use in undergraduate research assignments, but are they always the best option? In this workshop, we’ll challenge the assumption that scholarly articles are the pinnacle of evidence for research assignments, dipping into research from library science, reading studies, and learning theories. We’ll highlight alternative formats well-suited for undergraduate research and suggest practical techniques in support of credible research beyond requiring peer-reviewed articles. This session is ideal for librarians and educators interested in rethinking research assignments and promoting a broader view of credible sources.

 

Participation in this webinar counts as attendance toward the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement (if you are affiliated with Ohio State), or the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate (if you are not affiliated with Ohio State).
