Last Tuesday morning I had the great pleasure of getting to go hang out with our SCU librarian Gail! It was great, we not only reviewed the last session we had there, but also learned some new stuff!
Similar to the annotated bibliography skills, the “quote sandwich” session was fun and informative (although it was really about “quote sandwiches”‘ top bread piece). We had detective hunts (per usual) and Konnor and I had a blast. We learned about the importance of introducing your source, what type of source it is (scholarly? etc), as well as if you should tell your audience it that it comes from a place that is “open access.” Gail taught us how some databases (especially medical journals) can be tens of thousands of dollars, so it is important to not exclude important details that give background to your sources because it can affect the reputation this source has (and you can build off its reputation in your analysis!).
Below are some example introductions to quotes we made… enjoy!
Basic pattern (can vary!): Summary/Point of Source, who the author(s) are and the type of source/database, the database, description / purpose of source’s origin.
A scholarly study that discusses possible correlations between mobile phone dependence and underlying neurobiological mechanisms, by a camaraderie of academics and neurobiological doctors published in open-access peer reviewed journal, Frontier Psychology, which covers all aspects of psychology.
A scholarly argument about promoting the uses of informal language using digital in order to engage students to write about content and use critical thinking skills in less formal ways, by an associate professor of curriculum and teaching at Fordham University published in Phi Delta Kappan, a professional magazine for anyone interested in K-12 education.
