• Use the library databases to find peer reviewed materials.
• Evaluate sources for quality, validity, and bias.
• Create advanced database and internet searching strategies.
• Identify elements of APA citations.
• Cite sources responsibly.

You will also create your own BoardVitals login and learn how to use the board prep database.
