Welcome. On this website, you will find three modules that introduce research skills: The CRAP test, Search faster, search smarter, and Truncation and phrase searches.
The CRAP test introduces a set of guidelines for evaluating online information. Search faster, search smarter introduces the structured search. Truncation & phrases searches demonstrates how to use the * and quotation marks (” “) to search even more effectively.
And there is a bonus activity: Learning and practicing how to do a structured search on the Carleton University Library website.
