Watch this space on the Rhetoric Subject Guide for tips about how to get yourself into a research mindset. Searching skills can only take you so far when gathering information. You also need to stop and think about your frame of mind and your attitude as you do research. Start thinking about how you are thinking until it becomes second nature. 

Information found on this guide has been gathered from many sources, including: 

• tutorials from NCSU Library
• lynda.com Information Literacy course (available to U of Iowa affiliates)
• tutorials created by U of Iowa Librarian, Dan Gall
• various pieces of other U of Iowa Librarians' Subject Guides
