Theatre & Performance
Scholarly v. Non-Scholarly
Scholarly (peer-reviewed) resources undergo review by experts in a field of study, who determine that the articles are objective and credible before they are published. Examples of peer-reviewed resources include articles in academic journals, collections of essays or anthologies.
Non-scholarly are published without review by experts. Non-scholarly resources range from a variety of types, such as websites and magazines, to newspapers and books. If you plan to use non-scholarly materials, ask your instructor beforehand, and use the CRAAP Test.
Place an InterLibrary Loan
If we do not have full-text access to an article you would like, place an interlibrary loan through ILLiad. First time users will login with student/faculty ID # (900- or 901-) and you will be asked to create a passowrd.
