Research Guides
The librarians know that sometimes research can feel overwhelming. That is why we have made research guides to help!
Primo is the best place to start searching. Then, move on to databases in your subject.
Research guides are focused on a subject like religion, literature, psychology, business, education, performing arts, or criminal justice. They let you know the relevant resources for your area of study, such as which databases to use and selections of useful websites.
Research guides focus on your specific needs for a particular paper or course.
▲ Research guides are located on our A-Z Database page and under 'Research Tools' from the Library's homepage.
Here are some of our most used research guides in a simplified list:
