The topic resources have reviewed the reasons and importance of using online GCU Library resources in your research. Using examples from the topic 2 Resources, explain why it is important to use scholarly, peer reviewed resources retrieved from the online GCU Library vs. a general Internet search. In those instances where you need to do a search on the Internet, what guidelines should you follow? Why? It is important to use scholarly peer reviewed resources rather than a general online search because general online searches could lead you to unreliable resources that do not provide the proper information for research. If you do need to do a search on the internet it is important to check the source for its reliability by determining if it is biased or not. It is important to do this because finding information that is biased could lead you to inaccurate information.

Review the "Tools for College Success" section of Chapter 7 in the textbook Information Literacy. Apply one of the reading strategies towards one of the peer-reviewed articles you chose in the Topic 1 Brainstorming Worksheet . After reading your article, select a sentence that supports your essay topic. Format this sentence into a direct quote and include an in-text citation. Then, paraphrase the quote and include an in-text citation. In addition, include a reference citation at the end of your response. Topic: Anti-recidivism in United States prisons Direct Quote: “ Recidivism rates in the United States are at an all-time high with over 76.6% of offenders reoffending and returning to prison. Many of these ex-offenders find themselves unemployed and uneducated, putting them higher at risk for recidivism.” (Esparza, 2018, p. 2). Paraphrase: The majority of recently released prisoners do not have access to employment or education, which leads to them needing to reoffend to survive. ( Esparza, 2018). References Esparza Flores, Nayely (2018) "Contributing Factors to Mass Incarceration and Recidivism," Themis: Research Journal of Justice Studies and Forensic Science: Vol. 6 , Article 4. https://doi.org/10.31979/THEMIS.2018.0604 https://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/themis/vol6/iss1/4
