Research Guides are composed of boxes, and these boxes, once created, can be assembled, dissassembled, and then reassembled, quickly and easily - just like a set of tinkertoys. |
If you're interested in getting a Research Guide for your class or department, here are some Research Guides we've already created that can serve as examples:
Science Research - a Research Guide on conducting general science research using the library's resources
Business 490 - a Research Guide created specifically for the Business 490 research project
DISCUS Databases - a Research Guide which deals exclusively with DISCUS databases, their use, content, and applications
Research Guide participants belong to a cooperative community that has agreed to share the fruit of their labors. We can borrow content and ideas from our peers and they can do the same. If you find a Research Guide that you like somewhere else, we can quickly and easily create the equivalent.
