FTS: Debating Nobel: Start

This guide will help you conduct research for this course and get to know the library. Use the resources on the tabs above, as well as the information listed below, to explore various places to search. 

• Don't hesitate to ask if you've got questions! 
  • If you would like a one-on-one consultation, make an appointment with me or any librarian, in person or online.
  • If you have an immediate question, try our 24/7 chat service!
  • And if you prefer an asynchronous approach, use our Research Next Steps form or send me an email directly.

There are a couple of other guides that might be useful for you at various points during your research:

• Library FAQs - for information on services, spaces, collections, etc. 
• Doing research - brush up and expand your research skills!
• Finding Books - use it to navigate the shelves to find materials
• Cite your sources - examples and links to external resources for a number of citation styles

Research can be both exciting and frustrating. Fortunately, there are lots of people on campus who can help.

• Check with your professor if you aren't sure how to approach your assignment or want a second opinion on sources and strategies.
• Stop by the Writing Center at any point during the process for expert advice from your talented peers.
• The Academic Support Center can help with issues such as time management and organization.
• Connect with librarians for any and all research questions. There are many ways to get in touch with us. 

You can always email Julie or set up an appointment with me to discuss any questions. I'm happy to help with any and all of your research questions. Or if you just want to chat about your topic & create a strategy for searching, we can do that, too. 

If you want a refresher from our library session, the slides from class are posted here.
