Welcome to the MID441 Research Skills Guide, a guide for Midwifery students at Charles Sturt University.

This guide is designed to introduce you to finding and using scholarly resources for your assessment tasks, and includes sections on:

• Getting Started: 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
• Other Resources: Google Scholar, UpToDate and Web Resources
• Evaluating, writing and referencing the information you have found

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

Wishing you the best for your studies.
