Language, Literacy and Culture

Getting Started

The left navigation will take you to: 

  • Books on your topic held at the this library (or online) or at other libraries
  • Journals, magazines, periodicals, newsletters and other publications (print and electronic)
  • Reference materials to help you get started with your background information
  • Education databases that you should search to find the best information on your topic
  • Selected Internet sources for your area
  • Contact information to get help

To get started, you should become familiar with the Research Process:

  • Library Research Basics Tutorial
    Learn about some very basic research tools and when they are appropriate.
  • Merlin Information Literacy Tutorial. A lengthier tutorial that takes you through the whole research process, from defining your topic, to exploring the world of information, to finding information, to evaluating and incorporating information.
