Information Literacy

Consultation with the Librarian for Information Literacy (looking for references, properly citing references, listing
of references, etc.)
List all references properly in APA format on the last page of your paper
Part I.
Name and discuss your topic thoroughly. You can cite personal connections if applicable, but be sure to state
factual information to support your position. Cite your references.
a. Explain in detail (with depth and clarity) this issue. Be sure to cite references or sources. Remember that
your opinion is important but NOT when you have to objectively deal with an issue. If you have a problem
looking for references or sources, consult the Librarian. They are available to help you. Be mindful of proper
citation because you can be liable for plagiarism, which is a major offense here in EIC. Cite at least 4
(preferably more) references for this part of your paper. b. Discuss how this issue is related to other existing
issues. Identify and explain very well this connection. Consider the viewpoints of several experts. Be mindful of
your sources. Cite as many references as possible. c. Identify and discuss at least one psychological theory
(more is better) that is applicable to the issue that you have chosen. Explain thoroughly the application.
Support your explanation with factual information (NOT your opinion or personal experience). Tell me what
makes up your topic, symptoms, theories, etc.
Part II
Discuss your position or core belief regarding the issue. Remember that your opinions are ok to cite but they
should be supported with factual proof. Cite as many references as you can to justify your position. One tip is
to cite published research findings of the issue. Tell me about possible treatment options.
Logically elaborate on your position and formulate your conclusion. Cite as many references as you can.
