Drop-In Research Help: Home

Your MJC librarians can help you with a wide variety of research-related tasks. For example, we can help you:

• Understand your assignment or writing prompt
• Define your research topic
• Find background information to get you started
• Help you create your research questions to focus your search for information and the flow of your paper
• Find detailed information from reliable sources to answer your research questions and build a body of evidence for the points you want to make in your paper or speech
• Learn to format your paper in the style required by your teacher. These are typically MLA, APA, or Chicago styles
