Research in the library can be done in any number of ways. Most students start with the Athena library catalog, which catalogs all of the media in the library. The library also has subscriptions to many fine online resources, including encyclopedias, dictionaries, and databases of information, such as Infotrac and Lexis Nexis. Research can also be done with online newspapers and other websites. To get started researching a paper or project see “Where to start research”.

Always remember, if you cannot find what you are looking for, if you are becoming frustrated, see a librarian who can help you. We are always willing to lend a hand.
