    This chapter is dedicated to looking backwards and reflecting upon the content in previous chapters and your experience interacting with it. Reflection isn't just something that teachers ask you to do for fun (though it can be an enjoyable thing to write as well as read). It is an important piece of learning. Taking a moment to think about what you have learned helps make a lesson "stick." It gives space to the crucial step of figuring out why and how you will use this knowledge. Reflection helps make pathways to other things you know, as well as identify what you don't know yet. If you think about it reflection is part of the iterative process - it the the moment you assess what it is that you did, decide how you could change it, and make connections that may not have existed before.

    This chapter doesn't have any new information for you to learn. Instead, you will be re-reading your own work. Take a moment to look back at some of the work you have done and ask yourself these questions:

    1. Look at the first list of keywords you created for your research topic. How did your keywords list change leading up to your final searches? Why do you think that happened?
    2. Think about the resources you found while searching. How did you evaluate them? Would you make the same assessment of the resource today using CRAP? What have you learned about evaluations since your first CRAP test?
    3. How have your definitions of resource credibility and usefulness continued to evolve?
    4. Take a look at your most recent searches. Notice how many skills it took to succeed!! You checked facts, you evaluated, you reflected! Pat yourself on the back.

    Here is a glorious list of the many videos, articles, and links to resources that you encountered during LIB101. Bookmark or download this resource list for future use!
