How do I do research in it?
- When you are doing research, you will be looking for information on a particular topic. If you search in our research databases, they will show you lists of articles on your topic. You will either go to the full-text online article (found in a database, but originally published in a periodical) or you will go to a particular periodical on the shelf in the library to find the specific article on your topic.
