No More Research Woes

Research.  Papers. Projects.  All good stuff!   Week 10 of the fall semester brings many CCV students conducting research for papers and projects.   More often than not, students have questions about the research process, key word searches, appropriate topics, MLA and APA, and the writing process.  To find the answers they seek, students turn to Google and then visit a multitude of sites.  What students don’t know is there no need to wander deep into webland in search of support.  CCV’s Hartness Library has incredibly helpful resources to address any questions a student might have.  

The CCV Hartness Library Research Basics Guide probably covers any question you might have about conducting research or writing a paper.  Hartness even provides a list possible topics for those of us who can’t seem to think of one.  Do you prefer to have processes explained to you?  No problem.  CCV’s Hartness Library created a series of short (we’re talking an average of two minutes short) video tutorials that explain anything you would want to know about navigating the library, writing a paper or doing research.  

If you are struggling with your research and you feel like you need some personalized assistance, ask a librarian.  You can call, email, text or chat your research questions, and a librarian will be available to help you.

The next time you are tempted to go googling for help, save yourself some time and virtually visit CCV’s Hartness library first.
