Description

This is one module in a larger tutorial about the research process for college students. It talks about the way information is disseminated after an event to help students think about where they might find the infomation they need about different topics. Like many similar sites, this is adapted from UCLA's Flow of Information: Conceptual Approach to Library Instruction (http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/college/help/flow/index.htm). What makes this site particularly interesting is that timelines of information are presented for several disciplines: business, science, social science, arts.
