What is a resource guide?
A resource guide is a subject-specific list of sources to help with research projects. These guides are created by librarians and offer suggestions for books, journals, or websites that contain information on a certain topic. Resource guides are not meant to include all sources of information on a topic, but instead serve as a starting point.
Where can I find help on citing sources for papers?
