Research Guides

The Research Guides are created by the Sullivan University librarians  to help students navigate the library's resources in specific subject areas. Each guide is structured to direct researchers to 1) print and reference materials located in the library; 2) subject specific databases for online journal articles; 3) subject specific print-based journals that are available only at the library; 4) multimedia (i.e. audio & video); and 5) a webliography of Internet-based resources geared to the subject specialty. 

For more information: call (502) 456-6773, Ask-A-Librarian (email), or request a research guide. See also: Research Basics & APA Citation Method.
