Library Research Guides Help You Start Your Research Projects!

You know about the library website and have probably used TigerSearch (the main search box that searches all library collections) and the Research Databases (especially JSTOR!), but did you know that the Research Help librarians have set up a whole guide for each of your classes to help you start research for your projects?

• We create these Research Guides for every class that might require library research.
• The "Getting Started" (or sometimes "Find Background") section of each guide has links to helpful reference sources, which are a great place to start because they give you an overview of a topic, connect you with helpful sources in their bibliographies, and help you figure out what questions people are asking on this topic. (Just remember, it's generally not okay to cite reference sources as a source in a paper.)
• The "Find Books" section gives you information about the specific sections of the library bookshelves that fit the subject of the class.
• The "Find Articles" section has links to the library research databases that are most relevant to the class.

Just asking: what's going on with the Ask Us box?

If you've been on the library homepage, you've probably seen the little "Ask Us" box pop out from the side to ask if you need help. The two of us, Heidi, and Linnea, are the people behind this faceless box!

Great questions to ask in the Ask Us box:

• Where should I start my research on my topic?
• Where can I find primary sources on my topic?
• Is this a good source for my project?
• How can I find out whether the library has a book or article? I can't find anything on my topic--what should I do?
• And anything else you can think of!
