General research tips:
  • Check with your librarian to find out about new resources and electronic databases. If you are not on campus, try the online Ask A Librarian form.
  • Look for library guides in related disciplines.
  • Know your library’s classification system. The CSM Library uses Library of Congress (LC). Use it to browse for information. In our Library, most engineering materials are located in the T’s.
  • Become familiar with core works in your field. Use these as a base to start your search.
  • Keyword choices are important. Add keywords to your search from publications you've already identified and from thesauri and indexes.
  • Evaluate your sources--especially Internet sources. Check for updating, type and date of coverage, publisher and/or author.
