Library Research Tips

Understanding Library Basics

You will need to use the library for many assignments during your time at SRU. You might need to find literary criticism on a book, an analysis of a musical score, a scholarly article about a chemical reaction, or statistics about inclusion in a middle school classroom.  By using library resources effectively, you can do all this and much more!  The topics included within this guide will help you understand how to use the library resources to find what you are looking for, whatever your need may be.
