Students can receive help formulating effective search queries and identifying the best online resources from a collection of more than 219 subscription-only databases representing hundreds and thousands of full-text articles. Research strategy classes are tailored to discipline specific courses. The newly renovated Active Learning Classroom is equipped with laptops and interactive learning devices that allow students to participate in an engaging hands-on environment.
