Welcome to Ready, Set, Research

Research is a process, and the Ready, Set, Research guide introduces you to some of the key steps in that process. Think of it as a starting point rather than a complete instruction manual.

After working through this module, we encourage you to collaborate with research librarians whenever you take on a research project. Whether at the Research Help Desk, through appointments, or by chat, text, and email, librarians can help you practice and refine your skills. Over time, these collaborations will strengthen your ability to be both a successful researcher and a critical consumer of information.
