Awash in Information?


Are you overwhelmed by how much information is available to you? Do you know where to start your research? I recommend you begin with the Academic Search Premier (ASP) database, easily accessible from the library's research databases page (it's the first one on the list).


You name it and ASP will probably have articles about it from a wide spectrum of disciplines (economics, philosophy, geology, nursing, art--the list keeps going). Not only that, ASP also offers full-text access which means the article you want may be available right there on the screen where you have the option to download, e-mail, save, or print your citations and articles.

Another option--and something I strongly recommend--is to talk to a librarian; they are research professionals and will help you navigate and make sense of the multitude of research available at your fingertips.
