Campus Resources for Students

A guide with academic and wellness resources for TU students

Cook Library has the people and resources you need to feel confident when researching a topic, evaluating information, and citing what you find. 

Every discipline has its own unique considerations for research and information evaluation. That's why each subject taught at TU has a dedicated subject librarian. These librarians know the type of information you need to be successful and can share tips on where and how to find it. 

You can take advantage of this support in a few ways:

 

Cook's How to Start your Research Guide is a great resource to use at any stage of your research project from finding books to writing a literature review. 

Citation Support

Every discipline has its preferred citation style. The good news is, you don't have to memorize any one style! Being familiar with what information you'll need to refer to when you cite is important. In most cases, you'll need to reference who created the information, what its called, who published it, and a link to help readers find it again. Cook's Citation Guides are full of examples to help you organize what you find in the required style. Unsure which style to use/ refer to your assignment description or clarify with your instructor or advisor.
