Research Resources
Finding books and articles for your research can be quite a challenge - especially if you've not yet familiarized yourself with the library and its resources. The Digital Library at Dartmouth is a good place to start. There you will find links to the library catalog, electronic resources like online databases, and information on the library and its services.
If you're not sure where to start, try Getting Started with Library Research, a site that will help you find books and articles and give you tips on researching a topic. If you have a topic and you'd like some guidance in your research, consult a Research Guide, which provides information about the key resources (both print and electronic) in a subject area, written by reference librarians.
Librarians are available to help you no matter what you're looking for. E-mail Ask a Librarian for help or blitz ref. Librarians will respond during hours that the Reference Desk is staffed (generally 9 am to 8 pm on weekdays, noon to 6 pm on Saturday, and 2 pm to 6 pm on Sundays). Visit or call a Reference Desk for help in person or on the phone, or contact a Subject Specialist to make an appointment for a research consultation or to ask reference questions.
Student peer tutors at RWiT are available to help you Sunday through Thursday, 4-6 pm and 7-10 pm. RWIT tutors can give you support and guidance in research, feedback and instruction in writing, and assistance with common software applications like PowerPoint and iMovie. Visit RWIT on the first floor of Berry Library (behind the Computing Help Desk) or make an appointment online.
Finally, remember that Dartmouth faculty members can be an invaluable resource to you throughout your research process. To find an expert on your topic, check department homepages for information about individual faculty members.
