Research and How to Do It

These tips will help lower your stress and raise your grades.

Use our Library Resource Guides to help with research!

The first library page you saw included links to various resource guides. From this page, backtrack to the "Holt Library" breadcrumb. 

Use these to start your research! We have grouped resources so that you have a handy place to start. 

Each guide includes:

  • books
  • journals
  • e-books and videos
  • sample articles
  • search boxes to individual or specialized databases
  • Help buttons if you get stuck, even after hours
  • library hours and contact info so that you can reach us in a hurry
