Finding Information

Open search engines like Google.

You can fine-tune your results by adding keywords or using the “advanced search” option. There is a lot of great information out there, but it can take a while to sort through irrelevant or poor-quality results.

Library Catalogs and Databases.

Libraries offer a wide variety of print and online resources. Using academic library collections can be helpful, because those are designed to support the kind of research that students are asked to do. Most libraries require you to have a library card in order to borrow books or use online collections.

Library CATALOGS tend to point towards books, ebooks, and mulitimedia.  Learn more about using the CIty Tech Library catalog here.

Library DATABASES let you search large collections of online information. Learn more about using City Tech Library databases here.
