Doing Research

bar

Whether you're at the beginning or end of your research process, there's plenty of valuable advice online for starting research, integrating it into your writing, and documenting it. Your research may start in BC's Alexander Mack Memorial Library, with a search in resources held by the library or on the Web using a search engine. Take a look at our library's Online Library Research Guide for some help getting started here at BC. Or use these online resources:
