Using the Library for Literary Research
If it's been a while since you've used the Baylor Libraries for research you may want to check out some of the information in the guides and tutorials below to sharpen your skills and be able to quickly and easily know what tools and resources to use for which kind of research you are doing.
- Library Information for New StudentsThis guide has a useful set of FAQ's, list the specialty librarians by their specialty, describes some of the very useful technology and services we have, and links to other useful library resources. A good place for a quick overview.
- Focusing Your Research PaperYour faculty will expect you to have better written papers than those you wrote in high school. One big key to writing a great college paper is to stay focused on a more narrow topic than you start with. This guide will help you choose a topic you like, narrow it to an appropriate set of questions and claims, and get you started on how to find resources.
