You have access to some pretty awesome databases through the library website

JSTOR and EBSCO are what I typically used in college.

What year are you? It makes me really sad if you are farther in college than a freshman and no one showed you these before. They were my biggest go to for research besides sitting on the 5th and 6th floors of Evans with a crazy amount of books and sticky tabs.

Google Scholar hoe!

That makes me not quite as sad, though any professor teaching a freshman course and wanting research should have directed you to this area of the library's website.

Make an appointment with a reference librarian at the Evans Library. Your major/college will have a specific one assigned.

The search function for journals via the library website is not as intuitive as Google. They will give you some amazing tips to be very efficient in your searches. Additionally, they will give you a cheat sheet of the most popular journals used by your major and the subject matter covered.

Make sure to ask about RefWorks or other citation managers. I use RefWorks and it save so much time. When you find an article you like, you click a button and it imports the citation into a database. There is a plug-in for word too. When you write your paper you click a button and it inserts your citation in text. When you are finished click another button and your bibliography is inserted.

The meetings usually last about 30-45 minutes and will save you time over your studies.
