Research Help

Looking for information online? Don’t just use an Internet search. Our online databases give you quality articles, primary sources, and websites that are reviewed and updated regularly. One of our favorites is World Book Advanced. We would be happy to show you more about these databases at the Library.

But wait…did you know reading should NOT be the first step of the research process? First, make sure you know what your task is and what your choices are in seeking information. Check out The Big 6 website to help you with the process of finding, using, and evaluating information. Also try BibMe, a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago formatting.
