What is a LibGuide?

  • LibGuides collect research information in one convenient place.
  • LibGuides are updated in real time, which means you are always reading the most updated version.

How do I use a LibGuide?

  • A white down arrow on right side of  a main page means there are SUBPAGES listed below it
