CONTRIBUTED: Kirkwood Libraries are here for you as you finish up spring semester and hopefully look forward to a well-deserved break as we head into summer.
We have the research, citation and technology support you always get from the library; Exam Cram on Thursday, April 27; and extended hours during the last week of the semester.
Research, Citation and Technology Support
There are many ways to get help from the Library. Start at our homepage https://guides.kirkwood.edu to find:
Research Help Guides: Find an overview of the research process; how to search for different types of information; how to evaluate information, and more.
MLA & APA Style Citation Guides: Find directions and citation examples to help you create your list of works cited and in-text citations.
Research Databases: Use the A-Z Databases link to access information resources including articles, ebooks, videos and music.
A useful database for many research projects is Academic Search Elite because it covers nearly every area of academic study.
Librarians are available to help you with your research or citations during most library hours. Stop by the desk or chat with us online through our website to get expert help with your work.
