Gathering Your Tools
Before you use this guide, set yourself up with some tools for success:
- Your research assignment instructions. If you don't fully understand your professor's expectations, don't hesitate to ask!
- Technology. You might find it easier to use this guide and Library search tools on a computer than a mobile device. You can borrow a Chromebook from the Library.
- A place to take notes. Use a Google doc or physical notebook to keep track of useful keywords and search strategies, and notes on the sources you find.
