About Research Guides

Research Guides are mini-websites developed by librarians to help you identify and locate scholarly and non-scholarly resources (books, articles, web resources, etc.) on a particular subject (e.g. Biology) or for a particular course (e.g. ENG 200). Research Guides may also contain information on library services, research tips, career information, and more.

Most Useful For:

• Finding a wide variety of resources (e.g. books, articles, web resources, etc.) on a specific subject or for a specific course in a single location
• Getting librarian-recommended resources, tools and tips for your research 

Cautions:

• Some subjects or courses may not have a research guide associated with them (yet)
• Guides are not exhaustive--users may need to search in other places or use other resources to find all the sources and information they need for their research or coursework

Our Recommendation:

Consider using the Research Guides primarily when you: 

• Want to save time by utilizing a one-stop source of information for subject-specific or course-specific research
• Need guidance on which databases to use or where to start doing research
• Are interested in finding a wide variety of source types
