Faculty and researchers: We want to hear from you! We are launching a survey to learn more about your library collection needs for teaching, learning, and research. If you would like to participate, please complete the survey by May 17, 2024. Thank you for your participation!
To decide on a topic:
Choose a topic that interests YOU.
The best way to get this right is to really use your own imagination to see what you respond to. Your first tries are important. You can narrow them down later.
The "Article Quick Search" tab on the library home page, (or try it in the widget below), is the place to begin your research by typing in keywords and then adding filters from the search results landing page. Article Quick Search gathers results from most of the library databases but not all of them. It is a good starting point, especially for getting background on possible topics for a paper.
When searching the library databases, look for the
button to locate the full-text of an article or request interlibrary loan for items that the Library does not own.
To get to the Credo Mind Map, use the Credo Reference link and type a search term in to the search box. The Mind Map feature will be on the landing page.
Once you start to narrow your topic, finding the right keywords is important. Don't be afraid to let your topic change as you do more research. Note: when the narrator says "one search" what she really means is "Article Quick Search"
