Ever wondered what happens when students go off to research on their own? Librarians Julia Anderson and Megan Heuer present findings from their in-depth qualitative study that followed students as they searched for, read, and evaluated scholarly sources. The study revealed how students understand scholarship, how they attempt to read it, and how they decide what counts as credible, relevant, or usable.
