What are Research Guides?

Research guides, like this one, also known by their brand name "LibGuides," are specialized web pages created by librarians or other faculty and staff members to help library users find the information they need as easily as possible. They are centralized hubs for accessing relevant course or subject related resources.

Types of Research Guides

There are three (3) main types of research guides: subject, course, and topic.

  • Subject guides focus on a broad area of study like history, literature or business.
  • Course guides are created for a specific course, providing resources relevant to its curriculum.
  • Topic guides focus on a specific topic or skills, such as research strategies or AI literacy.

How to Use Research Guides

Research guides are valuable tools for navigating library research. They make it easier to find relevant and credible information and complete research tasks efficiently.
