Getting Started

To get started with your senior seminar research project, familiarize yourself with the available research tools listed below. 

Tip! Develop a list of topic related keywords so that you can effectively run a variety of keyword search strategies in the following: 

 

WorldCat Discovery

Search for print books, e-books, peer-reviewed full-text scholarly articles, statistics, and more with the library’s discovery tool.

You can limit your results by format including print, ebook, full-text peer-reviewed articles, DVDs, and more. Results can also be limited to date ranges, too. 

 A useful way to browse the library books in a subject area is by using a call number. In WorldCat, type nu: then the call number prefix for your subject area, and select enter. You'll receive a list of results based on that call number search.
