Library Assignment Guides
Librarians collaborate with instructors to create Library Assignment Guides that help you get started on research assignments.
These guides suggest resources, databases, and strategies that are chosen based on the assignment prompt. Even when an assignment hasn’t been given to the library, general subject guides can point students in the right direction to get started with their research.
