Introductions

Congratulations on pursuing higher education! Academic research is exciting because you learn more about things that interest you, but: It can also be confusing. This guide can help by highlighting resources and strategies to use throughout your research, from brainstorming a topic and finding sources to citing those sources and writing your paper. Questions? Please don't hesitate to contact me, your personal librarian, via phone call, SMS or direct messaging, email, or video conference. I can be available morning or night, weekday or weekend, so: Let's talk soon.

Access TU Sources Remotely

Bookmark the "Reload at TU" button
