Research Guides
An Introduction:
PowerPoint may be used as an interactive learning tool. It was with this intention that these guides were created.
During these guides, watch for text that appears without any prompts. These show the steps to be taken when executing a particular research strategy. An appearance of a rightward pointing navigation button indicates that all of the text has appeared and that you may click to the next slide.
