Welcome! This research guide contains resources to help you find sources for your projects. It will also help you address common research questions and issues. In addition to this guide, you can get help directly from your course librarian, Julie Gilbert.
If you need a refresher on how the library works, consult our Library FAQs for answers to all kinds of questions related to the library and its services.
