College-level library research is an important step in being "information literate." To read more about information literacy, visit the Association of College & Research Libraries' page, Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.
These Library Research tutorials focus on how to do college-level library research, but you can certainly apply what you learn here to other areas of your life!
Level 1 covers the basics of getting research help, searching library databases, and citing sources. Level 2 and Level 3 guide you through more specialized resources, advanced search strategies, and tips for evaluating information.
Move through the tutorials using the "Previous" and "Next" buttons at the bottom left and right of the pages.
Level One gives an introduction to library research to get you started.
Level Two offers instruction to continue building your research skills.
Level Three focuses on advanced search techniques and subject-specific research.
For demonstrations on how to use OneSearch or a library database, visit our Tutorial Videos.
