Not all information is created equally—and not all search tools work the same way. This interactive workshop will help you compare popular tools for information discovery from AI to academic search platforms.

You’ll also practice evaluating sources, including academic ones, so you can choose the most reliable information for your assignments. By the end, you’ll feel more confident navigating the information jungle!
