Reference Research Tips

Begin your research by using either the print reference collection on the main floor of the Library or one of the reference databases.

A reference source will give you a broad overview of your subject.

Use the table of contents or index to find articles with information on your topic.

Look to see if the article has a bibliography, which can give you some great leads to other sources.
