What do you want students to be able to do by the end of the session? (Desired Learning Outcomes):
After this session, I'd like students to feel comfortable navigating the library's website and databases to find academic sources about their digital entertainment topics. The key skill I want them to develop is learning how to skim through book chapters and articles to identify 5-10 useful, understandable pages rather than feeling overwhelmed by trying to read entire sources from start to finish.
