Help with the Research Process...

Below are some of the basic tools you will need to get started on your research. All of these can be accessed from the Bankier Library homepage and website.

Online Catalog -- Your gateway to Bankier Library's collection of books, periodicals, journals and multimedia. Start your searching here!
Online Databases -- Your gateway to Bankier Library's electronic resources. The place to find articles for your assignments!
Access Science -- The Online Version of the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. When starting on a new research topic or just looking for some introductory information check out this continually updated resource!
Evaluating Your Web-based Sources -- Critical to the research process. Make sure the information you are using is authoritative and proper! If after evaluating the Accuracy, Authority, Objectivity, Currency, and Coverage you feel safe quoting the information from the site in a college research paper, then by all means go ahead and use the site!
Citing Your Sources -- How to give credit where credit is due and avoid pesky plagiarism charges! (Accordingly, I must thank my fellow librarian Amy Clark for her assistance with this link.) This is often the last task before handing in your paper, but you still need to do it!
- Also be sure to look for our NoodleTools workshops to help you with citing your sources. It should take some of the hurt out of doing your bibliographies! Contact Amy or me for more info.

We are always available to help you with your research. If you are having trouble using the online catalog or databases stop by the Help Desk and we'll be happy to assist you. We are also available for research consultations by appointment.
