Hot Topics This Semester

Many of our students completed library information literacy workshops this semester. We asked students to choose a sample topic to demonstrate their search strategy skills. Here is a graphic representation, or tag cloud, that shows the 50 most popular words compiled from the all of their responses:

abortion abuse advertising affect age care cars cell cheating child childhood children college control dangers death dogs drinking driving drug drunk eating education effects exercise games gas global gun influence music obesity penalty pregnancy punishment research schools smoking stem teen teenage television topic underage video violence violent warming women world
