Database Searching Basics
|
The library has created these handouts as another way of helping use the various databases that are available for research. Each one goes over searching that database step-by-step, with screen captures. |
|
There will be repetition among the handouts, as each one was created to stand alone. Other guides will be added as requested. Please feel free to ask for help at any time. |
