This guide is here to help you walk through research, from initial planning to using academic databases effectively to having access to full text of resources and formatting citations.

Have a look at the following guide (open it to full screen; navigation arrows on the bottom):

I'm your personal librarian for this course. See my contact to the left.

TWU's Norma Marion Alloway Library has rich resources for you, many of them in electronic form, including books, journal articles, research guides, tutorials, and our ever-present personal support for your research efforts. On the latter, see the Contact Us link to the left.

Our library search tools may seem complex to you, especially if you are mainly used to Google, but they are not as difficult as they seem, and they are stronger search tools than Google.

Your main entry to resources will be through our Library OneSearch box located on the library home page: https://www.twu.ca/library/

Our "How to OneSearch" guide shows you how it works: http://libguides.twu.ca/LibraryOneSearch
