Identify what sources are good to use for your papers. Learn the difference between scholarly, academic, professional, popular, and substantive news publications and the benefits and uses for each. To effectively research for college-level papers, students must learn how to evaluate articles in journals and magazines. In this video, an art history professor at Otis College of Art and Design discusses some of the criteria useful in determining whether the information found is scholarly, popular, or professional. The same evaluation criteria may be applied to information found on websites and in books. Please see also the Otis Information Literacy website: http://library.otis.edu/informationliteracy.html

When she graduated in 1973, she was named "Designer of the Year." She worked for companies in London and New York as a designer, illustrator, and merchandiser. In the late 1970s, she was named head designer of the Jaeger American Line, London. In 1980, Brantley moved to Los Angeles and co-founded her own sportswear company. She was also appointed founding Chair of the Fashion Department at Otis College of Art and Design. Under her leadership, the department grew to become one of largest and most influential fashion programs in the country, providing design talent to some of the country's largest apparel companies. Todd Oldham has said "I have led critiques at many fashion design schools and by far Otis is the leader." In 2005, Brantley was recognized for her significant contributions to the fashion industry by the LA Fashion Awards with their "Inspiration Award." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Brantley
