Bond Library's Believe it, or not?

"Is it reasonable to believe ..." kickstarts the question for the Core 1 Critical Thinking & Communication essay.

A faculty librarian can help you navigate to academic, evidence-based articles - a valuable skill in finding and evaluating information to support your essay.
