Don’t get overwhelmed! Once you have your topic or subject, use all of the data bases available, so that your information used from these sources, seem well rounded on complete when you put them into a paper.

This was a very helpful class. As a first year student I had no idea how many rescources were available to me online. The tips I learned to broaden and narrow my searches will come in handy not just for school, but for all other online searching as well.

Have an open mind. Sometimes, you’ll find things that you didn’t intend to search for, but end up being a great paper topic.

easy to use, better than researching through google, it seems kind of complicated at first, but you just have to do it.
