Searching as Strategic Exploration and Authority is Constructed and Contextual

Searching as strategic exploration: What questions are you asking to direct your information search? What is the scope of your research? What type of information do you need? Who might produce this information (e.g., scholars, organizations, governments)?Authority is constructed and contextual: How do you determine the credibility of a source? What makes a source authoritative? What points of view might be missing? Whose voice does the information represent?Scholarship as conversation: have you sought a variety of perspectives? What are the modes of discourse in your field? Do you have the information you need to cite your sources? What are the established authority structures that privilege certain voices and information?
