NOT SURE WHERE TO START? You can be try out your own researching skills and start exploring on your own...or you can try Mrs. Frech's suggestions for where to start for this particular assignment.
*****BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN***** One of the key aspects of research is finding the right search term. Don't keep trying one word/term if you're not getting the results you are seeking. Look at your teacher's suggestions and also map out optional words/terms/phrases before you begin. Having options and finding the right phrasing is often the difference between a successful search or a great deal of wasted time and frustration. When looking for optional terms, check out some of the awesome search tools like OneLookReverse, or VisuWords, or Soovle or go to the SEARCHING tab above and check out some additional searching tips.
1) DATABASES & WEBSITES:
2) PRINT & E- RESOURCES: Depending on your topic, you may find a book (or e-book) right here in the Padua Library. For books and other Padua Library resources, check out the "Padua Library: Padua Library Catalog (Destiny)" tab above. To get the best results, use a Resource List (if one is available for this specific project). If you using the general Catalog Search, be sure put in your term and select "KEYWORD" for the most results possible.
