Are some information sources better than others? Why do some assignments require you to use peer-reviewed articles or empirical articles? Why are some sources considered inappropriate for a research paper? In this workshop, you will learn about different sources of information, how they are created, and ways to use them in a research project. Cultural Credit is available for this QEP workshop.

Celebrate Faculty Authors and Tenures/Promotions!
Every year, Stetson faculty who gain tenure and/or are promoted to Associate Professor are invited to add one book of special meaning to them to the duPont-Ball Library collection. Those books, as well as books written or contributed to by members of Stetson’s faculty in the past year, are currently on display on the main floor of the library.
