A research guide is a starting point put together by a librarian for a subject
or a course: the databases worth searching first, the reference works that answer
most questions, and the citation style your department expects.
Start with your subject below. If your course has its own guide, use that one —
it is built around your assignments. Not sure which to pick, or not finding what
you need? Book a consultation
with a librarian or use the Ask Us chat on any page of this site.
