Take a look at the Research Guides compiled by Sewanee librarians. There should be one focused on your discipline, and likely even your specific courses!

Need an introduction to a topic? We can help with that. These sources will offer you background on:

• topics

• facts and figures

• pointers to major sources of research

• assistance in helping to narrow or to better define a research topic

Among the best starting points are the Credo Reference Collection and the Oxford Bibliographies Online.
