Guide content supports the teaching and research goals of multiple departments on campus. Content represents a non-exhaustive selection of essential resources and tools for engaging a wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints. 

Have you heard? The library is here to help!

The resources on this guides serves as a starting point for students in the Foundations of the English Major course. You are encouraged to explore other resources beyond those listed here. 

After I visit your class on Wednesday, November 5, please fill out this short feedback form!

The box below offers tips to for conducting more efficient research. 

Finding more information:

• When you find a helpful book on the shelf, have a look at those shelved around it. The way we organize materials means most of the things on Shakespeare or Morrison will be together. At the bottom of InfoHawk+ records for physical books you will also find a 'virtual browse' feature.
• While in InfoHawk+ or a database, look to see if there are links to other recommended or relevant readings.
• Use linked subject headings or descriptors to find materials with that same heading or descriptor in the database you are using
• Do some citation chasing. If you find a good book or article, review the bibliography and the end/footnotes. Those are the sources that formed that author's argument. You can just plug the title into InfoHawk+.

  But what if it isn't in InfoHawk+? If the UI Libraries doesn't have something you need, particularly articles and books, we can request it on your behalf from another library. This is called Interlibrary Loan.
