Handy Research Tools for Finals


By: Yeidi Rios

Finals are right around the corner, this means research papers, essays, and presentations are due in a few weeks. Finals can be stressful, but I’m here to tell you about a few resources available that will make your road less bumpy. The library’s homepage basically has all the resources you need to back up your research with reliable sources. The  good news is that if you can “google” keywords, you will have no problem navigating our research tools.

Below is a handy list to get started:


Citation Finder:  Citation finder helps you locate a source based on its citation.
Database A-Z: A list of all our databases in alphabetical order.
Discovery @ Tarleton: A search engine that uses our databases and library catalog.
Guide to databases: Provides brief database descriptions.
Library Catalog: Type in the keywords and browse what we have.
Publication finder: Search for online journals by title or subject.

Subjects Guides: An organized list of resources by subjects      



·     Remember that if you are having trouble locating your resources you can always visit the reference desk located at the main level. May all your papers and presentations find the sources they need, and we wish everyone a merry end to the semester.
