Tuesday's Tip

It's midterms, which means you are probably knee deep in papers to write. Well, you're gonna need some solid research to support your well-formed arguments. A great place to start your research is a research guide. Research guides provide links to relevant databases and online resources, as well as a list of print resource related to a topic area. Each guide is put together by a librarian who specializes in the subject area, so you can be sure that you're getting off on the right foot. You can find the research guides here:

Now that you've got all that research, you need to cite it. Well, I've got just the thing to lighten your load. Gelman offers a collection of online citation guides, so you don't have to track down a style guide every time you have a question. You can find the citation guides here:

You can find these and other great research tools at the Gelman homepage (www.gwu.edu/gelman), just look in the Research Help section.
