Research Consultation

The purpose of this guide is to assist you in finding and using resources in Theology and Religious Studies.

The tabs above will help you find articles, books, and other information. Each tab introduces a range of resources from print to electronic but is not intended to be exhaustive.

If you need additional help, check out the "Need Help?" box located on many of the Research Guide pages to contact a librarian by IM, phone, or e-mail.

This is a work in progress. Please use the Comments option to submit questions and suggestions or contact me directly.

Included on this "Start Here" page is a short list of resources--some online and some in the Raynor Libray Reference Collection--that may help you get started with your research.

For more in-depth research try one of the

additional tabs above.

You may also request an individual or small group appointment with a research librarian in which you can discuss your research and information needs. Research and Instruction librarians will provide you with guidance on appropriate library research tools including both print and electronic sources. Research consultations may also include one-on-one training on using electronic library databases. Click here to set up a Research Consultation appointment.
