Starting Points for your research

This is a rough introduction to sources supporting your upcoming research.  The focus is more on tools to help you discover resources, rather than direct pointers to specific items for your individual projects.

If you have any questions, please email me or schedule an appointment.  Happy to meet via Zoom or in person in Baker-Berry Library.

Key Reference Resources

Reference resources -- particularly subject encyclopedias -- are great starting points for your research. Encyclopedia articles offer concise overviews of a topic, summaries of key research in a particular discipline, and often include a bibliography which can serve as a starting list of sources for your project.
