Work in Progress!
I'll continue to add resources & reorganize this guide before your upcoming bibliography assignment and our library research session. But just wanted to make this initial guide available at the start of term. It is not meant to be comprehensive, so be sure to check our other research guides for suggested resources. And know you're always welcome to email or meet with me. I've got my online scheduler & contact info in the left-hand column.
Thanks -- Amy
Literature Reviews & Background Information - a brief selection
Reference sources and literature reviews will provide topics overviews and surveys of past research. Great for better understanding concepts, timelines, contextualizing your topic, and providing clues for (and often citations to) additional sources. While you might not be including these sources in your project's bibliography, they can be great shortcuts for discovering the sources you *do* cite.
