What is this guide?

This guide is here to help you get started with finding scholarly resources for your research paper. This guide includes information about key time periods with their associated sites and important citations. Look at the subtabs under the "Key Periods, Sites, and Citations" tab for this information organized by time period. The resources listed are just to get you started, if you don't find everything you need here- that's okay! This list is not meant to be exhaustive. The rest of the guide will give you some advice on different databases to look in for more resources, as well as how to search in them, and how to cite things once you've found them

Finding materials you have a citation for...

So you found a citation to an article or book that you found or your professor gave you, now what?

Try searching by the title, author, or ISBN number of a book in the CONSORT Catalog. If you're not finding what you're looking for in CONSORT, try the OhioLink Catalog.
Search for the title of the publication in the Journal Finder to see if we have access to that journal. More help with Journal Finder see this tutorial.
Books or articles not available to borrow or access, request them through the ILL portal.

Google Scholar
You may have used Google Scholar before, great! Google Scholar is a Google search focused on academic literature. As with any search engine, be sure to evaluate the sources you find. Not all results from Google Scholar are scholarly or authoritative. Don't only search in google scholar though; you have access to resources in library databases that you won't find here!
