April 2012

Happy almost summer-or, already summer, if we're going by the weather! As we wrap up the spring semester and move into the research season, remember that I'm happy to work with you and / or your research assistants on search strategies and resources. As always, feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or recommendations.

The sessions can help identify ways to access and navigate electronic resources; develop search strategies; discover and locate primary source materials; search the web for relevant and reliable information; and locate materials for a literature review.
