Research Guides

By Annie Smith, Reference/Instruction Librarian

Every semester, we add new research guides to an already extensive list. The guides cover both broad subject areas and specific issues to help students decide on topics for their papers.

The guides contain a list of books to provide valuable background information, recommended databases, and vetted websites. By using the guides, students can be sure that
they’re getting the best possible start on their research projects.

We get ideas for new guides from controversial issues that appear on the news and from popular topics we hear at the Reference Desk, but we’re always on the lookout for more topic ideas. If you have an idea for a research guide, please let us know by contacting Annie Smith at x8752 or smithan@uvu.edu.
