Lateral Reading

Lateral reading is a technique for researching a publication, website, or author for credibility, reliability, potential bias, and reputation.

We call this "lateral reading" because you should make use of multiple tabs across a browser in order to find information about a site.

When confronted with a website of unknown credibility, spend time researching the site, its owner, and/or the author of the information before reading the article on the site.

Off-Campus Access to Library Resources

As a UCA student, you have full access to library resources even if you are not on campus. The video below will walk you through how to log into our resources and how to troubleshoot password issues.

Finding Full-Text Articles

The library has access to many articles, but sometimes we don't have permission to let you read the full-text. This video explains how to identify an article that we have full access to and how to request an article if we don't have full-text.
