Have you ever heard of a LibGuide?

LibGuide/Research guide is a term librarians use frequently when describing their resources. Honestly, it’s a bit of jargon term. Essentially, what we are talking about is a mini-website filled with information resources around a particular topic so you can easily navigate to them when you need them. Here at Lenoir-Rhyne, all of our Research Guides tend to follow a familiar format. I recently put together an 8 minute video going over "the what and the why" of Research Guides so you can feel comfortable in using them for your research.

It discusses what a database is and when to use one as well the nature of academic journals and general library research.

When looking for research articles, students often select both "Full Text Online" as well as "Scholarly & Peer-Review” as the filters they automatically apply to ev...
