Getting Started 

The library's research page serves as a useful point of departure. In addition to this page, the following sections will be useful for this assignment:

• distinguishing between primary and secondary sources
• citation styles
• How to Distinguish Between Popular & Scholarly Sources
• How to Write an Annotated Bibliography

CRUZCAT and MELVYL

A keyword search is probably the easiest way to get started. Once you find some titles that are useful, click on the Library of Congress subject headings to search further.

First check our local holdings on Cruzcat, and if you need to find more books on your topic, move on to Melvyl.
