Do you want some one-on-one help related to your course projects? You can come to the Reference Desk during our service hours, but you are also welcome to schedule a research appointment with one of the reference librarians. Research appointments generally last about 30 minutes to an hour; they provide a way for you to plan ahead for time to focus on your research needs.
As always, if you have any questions be sure to ask a Reference Librarian.
RefWorks is a web-based citation manager provided by the library. Our subscription to RefWorks lets you create a database of your research. Entries, including abstracts of articles, can be downloaded directly from a number of online research sources, or you can create records for articles, books, websites, and more. RefWorks has the added benefit of allowing you to include notes on your research. Bibliographies can be drafted from the entries in your RefWorks database in AAA, ACS, APA, Chicago, and MLA style, plus dozens of formats for publication in specific journals.
Evaluating the resources you find is an essential part of the research process. See this guide to hints on evaluation of books and articles and this guide to evaluating Internet resources.
