This LibGuide is designed specifically for you, the University of Illinois student. It will help you quickly get started with your research. Google is great but not all information is free or openly available. Here, you can find introductions to various kinds of library databases with instructions on how to search, tips on search strategies, and recommended resources for conducting research. We also distinguish what you can find on the open internet.
Bookmark this page, and you will find it a good friend whenever you need help or inspiration.
These resources are for use on your classroom and scholarly projects only. None of the data is to be given to a client or shared with friends at other universities.
You may—and should!—cite your information.
In addition to this guide, students may wish to consult related guides which may contain links to other resources:
