This video covers librarian Jen's thoughts on the idea of "research as a conversation," and how that might inform your own research process.
This is the research model shown in Jen's video. The steps are: Your topic, Devise a search plan-search terms and strategies, Search for info, Scan and review results, Critically evaluate results, Is it enough info?, then Revise or Return to plan or Cite your Sources.
