LibGuides: English 101: Sections for Professor O'Neil

Welcome to Professor O'Neil's students!

This section of my English 101 instruction guide is for resources specific to students enrolled in sections taught by Professor Katie O'Neil, who are working with Digital Scholarship Librarian Colleen Greene. These resources are in addition to those covered throughout the rest of this guide.

Research Assignment

The students will analyze a piece of media (show, movie, text, or video) and evaluate it according to the conventions of the genre (answering whether your media is a successful example of the genre or assess whether it's a good example of the genre). A secondary source (peer reviewed article) is required for this essay.

Instruction Session Learning Objectives

At the end of our instruction session, you will be able to:

Locate this course guide from the library home page
Locate the library's MLA and APA cheat sheet infographics on the Citations guide
Log in to the library website and proxy server with your CSUF credentials
Find academic-level sources, including scholarly/peer-reviewed sources, using our OneSearch discovery tool
Conduct keyword and phrase searches in library databases

Using Our OneSearch Discovery Tool

OneSearch is the Pollak Library's discovery tool that allows you to search many, but not all, of our research databases at the same time. Think of it as a mega database. Because OneSearch indexes and searches across many of our databases, it is an excellent tool to use when starting a new research project.
