Welcome to the MID441 Research Skills Guide, a guide for Midwifery students at CSU.

This guide is designed to introduce you to finding and using scholarly resources for your assessment tasks

The guide is made up of these sections:

• Getting Started: help with topic analysis, interpreting citations, identifying sources of information, and searching
• Using Primo Search to find known items and information on a topic
• Using Journal Databases for further searching for journal articles and other similar material
• Using Other Resources: Google Scholar, and Web Resources
• Evaluating and using the information you have found: evaluating information and resources; academic writing and study skills, and referencing.

You can use this guide any way you like: work through it step-by-step, or dip in and out as required. We suggest you take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the content so you know what's there.

If you need help with anything Library- or research-related, please contact me or contact the Library - details are in the boxes on the right.

Wishing you the best for your studies.
