FTS: Animal Minds: Start

This guide provides a basic overview of library resources for your Animal Minds First Term Seminar. Don't hesitate to ask a librarian for research help at any step along the way!

Our agenda:

• Overview of library resources & services
• Finding books & articles on a topic
• Start searching for materials on your animal

Our goals:

• To provide you a general introduction to your college library
• To help prepare you for your behind the scenes research for the "Best Animal Minds" Shark Tank!

While this guide focuses on searching for articles and books available through the library, you might also consider sources you find online, for instance, through a Google search. Librarians are happy to work with you on accessing and evaluating these sources, too!
