There are three to four parts to this assignment:

2) If you are not familiar with using the library databases, attend a library orientation regarding the electronic databases available in the SCC library or complete the tutorial in the PILOT program that pertains to the library databases. You may skip this step if you already know how to find articles using the library databases.

3) Literature Review:
