Step 4:  Select Specialized Resources

Identify resources from a Subject Guide, or by consulting with your professor or librarian. For books, search in the Averett Library Catalog AND Worldcat database. If the books are not available at the Averett Library, use Interlibrary Loan to obtain them in five to ten days.

Identify reference databases to search (in the next step) for:

• peer reviewed or refereed articles
• articles written by experts in the subject area
• review articles
• research reports
• statistics
• corporation records, financial statements and reports

Use FirstGov or Government Information on the Internet to locate government documents and statistics. Consider primary sources: correspondence, manuscripts, archives from digital archives. Locate Internet sites that provide accurate, unbiased professional or scholarly information, using Worldcat or the Google search engine.
