Research is a skill that you will apply both in and out of the classroom. This site focuses on the tools that are most likely to serve in writing a research paper, but being able to locate the information you need to learn about a topic or solve a problem is a skill that you will use in many parts of your life. Being able to search efficiently and effectively will save you time and help you to organize your writing.
Use the posts below as guidance during the research process. The Research Starter is designed to help you to outline your research in a way that will help you think about incorporating your sources into a written paper. Print it out so that you can take notes along the way.
Questions? Feel free to use the discussion feature to ask questions (or share tips!) about fine-tuning your research question, finding and evaluating information, creating citations, and more. If you prefer to contact the librarian directly, you can send a note directly to the librarian.
