Research is a process which takes time, careful reading, and careful thought, but that doesn’t mean that you’re expected to be an expert right from the start. Remember this one, simple rule:
Never spend more than 20 minutes in frustration!
Chat with a reference librarian at any time during the research process! We are here to help and all questions are welcome. Use Ask the Library to contact a librarian through chat, text, or email.
This last section of the tutorial will introduce you to key Library services that exist to save you time and frustration.
