International Students: Starting Research

Not sure where to begin? You’re not alone! This page will help you take the first steps in finding information for your assignments and projects.

Use the tutorials below to learn how to choose a topic, search for reliable sources, and use the library’s tools with confidence.

If you get stuck or have questions, a librarian can help! We might ask things like:

• Do you have assignment instructions?
• What’s your topic?
• What have you found so far?
• What kinds of sources do you need?

Don’t worry if you don’t know all the answers.  We’ll figure it out together!
