Welcome to your research guide!
This guide is here as a reminder on content we've covered in our library sessions, includes links to many helpful sources (including a selection of databases), and information on how to get help.
Feel free to contact me anytime with questions. You can email me or set an appointment with the book now option in my profile. We can meet in person or virtually.
Also feel free to use the Chat option on the Boston College Library website: you can get librarian help here 24/7.
Librarians have created many research guides in their specific subject areas. These are another excellent starting place when beginning research.
This First-Year Writing Guide provides additional information on searching, resources, and how to contact us.
Dictionaries and encyclopedias provide background information on research areas. They are rarely used as one of your official sources, but they can help you to understand topics or terms that are not as familiar, find other helpful information, or give you good search terms.
