Library Overview Hello. Blog posts are not considered scholarly sources. A program information page from a university is not considered a scholarly source. They can be informative but are not considered scholarly. The first Announcements I sent the class provided guidance in reference to scholarly sources. Please review the material for assistance. Below is the first paragraph from that Announcement. Thank you. “Please make sure you use scholarly sources in completing the required work. Make sure you can distinguish what is meant by a scholarly source. Magazines, Blogs, newspapers, lesson plans from various sites, Academic Department descriptions from universities, news stations (CNN, FOX News, etc.) and other popular sources are not scholarly sources.” PETER DOAS, Mar 9 at 7:20pm Hello. Source titles need italics. In the Welcome Announcement, I asked the class to review the Resources link in the Canvas class. One of the files provides example reference. I attached that file. Thank you.
