Grief & Bereavement in Older Adults |

|
Here are some quality web sites that you will find useful (don’t worry, there are plenty of others that you’ll be able to use for your required 2-3 annotated references):
As you’re looking at these and other sites, please look at the sites they recommend. There are many out there! In some of the sites you’ll need to find the SEARCH box and type in what you wish to search for. Try typing in grief and then do another search typing in something like “Chinese culture” or "grief and bereavement" (with the quote marks around the phrase) and see what results you get. You may also want to type in search terms that match your role in the team (like culture or ethnic or “patient education” or “clinical guidelines”). See below for instructions for completing the library’s online tutorials that help you learn to conduct effective searches.
Once you venture beyond those initial websites, you’ll want to ensure that you are viewing high quality, relevant, and reputable web sites. See below for some guidelines for helping you to determine you’re at a website that you can trust!
Make sure and complete the online library tutorials to enable you to search more productively and efficiently, not only for THIS exercise, but for others in other classes. You can locate the tutorials at: http://library.utmem.edu/HSLBC/Instruction/nInstruction_frames_t.html
Look in the left-hand column of the screen when you are at that location. The three tutorials that you should complete are:
Each of the tutorials works much better if you are conducting an actual search and you can do that search while moving through the tutorials. Consider what search terms you need to do to complete your individual and team tasks for this webquest. Use those search terms as you are progressing through the tutorials to maximize your time!
As you are gathering information based on your expert role, continue to dialogue with and confer with your other team members in a special space that has been set up for you on the web. Share what you’ve learned. It is very helpful to share and collaborate as you’re going through the process of data collection, synthesis, and reflection. That way everyone benefits!
