What kind of information do you need? How much time and effort are you willing to invest? These questions will help you narrow down your options and focus on the most relevant and reliable sources.

2 Find and evaluate digital libraries

There are many ways to find digital libraries that suit your needs. You can use search engines, directories, recommendations, or your own network. Some examples of digital libraries are Google Books, Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, Europeana, and the Digital Public Library of America. However, not all digital libraries are created equal. You need to evaluate their quality, credibility, scope, and accessibility. You can use criteria such as the authority, currency, coverage, and purpose of the digital library and its content.

3 Use advanced features and tools

Once you have selected a digital library, you can use its advanced features and tools to optimize your search and retrieval process. For example, you can use filters, keywords, operators, and Boolean logic to refine your query and get more precise results. You can also use metadata, citations, abstracts, and full-text options to identify and access the information you need. Some digital libraries also offer tools such as bookmarks, annotations, ratings, and sharing to help you organize and manage your information.

My go to website is JSTOR. I start with a basic search using two keywords. Going through the titles of the result gives me an outline of the existing research on the topic. Then I'll skim through the research article that seems closely related. Going through it, will further expose me to citations leading to finding related papers and articles. Using the "save" feature, I will create a list including all these papers. Then I'll group these papers into different themes or/and based on chronology. (This comes handy especially for Literature Review.) Based on necessity, I'll proceed to writing annotated bibliography for the saved articles that I'll be reading. I usually follow this, however, this comes with numerous changes.

4 Compare and integrate information

Digital libraries can provide you with a wealth of information, but you also need to compare and integrate it with other sources and perspectives. You need to critically analyze the information you find and evaluate its relevance, accuracy, bias, and validity. You also need to synthesize the information and connect it to your own knowledge and experience. This will help you develop a deeper understanding of your topic and avoid plagiarism.

5 Create and contribute to digital libraries

Digital libraries are not only for consumption, but also for creation and contribution. You can use digital libraries to produce and publish your own information, such as essays, reports, presentations, or podcasts. You can also use digital libraries to collaborate and communicate with other researchers and learners, such as by commenting, reviewing, or joining communities. By creating and contributing to digital libraries, you can demonstrate your information literacy and digital skills and expand your network and impact.
