Dear Lewis Honors College Student,

The guide includes some reminders regarding the basics of research, plus the guide will lead you to more advanced resources for your Honors work. We can help you at many stages of the research process, including identifying appropriate information resources as well as provide guidance for finding resources for literature reviews and many other types of research projects.

Please contact me directly or contact us via Ask Us.

Best wishes,

Dr. Stacey Greenwell
Library Liaison to the Lewis Honors College

Consider enrolling in Online Information Literacy, a self-paced course in UK's Canvas which was co-developed by your librarian. The course takes around 40 minutes to complete.
