Welcome to the South Central College Library Research Tutorial!
You've been asked to write a research paper and you are trying to figure out what to do next? The modules will guide you in understanding the research process and the many resources you can use for your college assignments. Each module will walk you through a step in the research process, give examples, and give you a chance to practice what you're learning.
Please go to Module 1 or jump around to any module that will help you with what you need to know right now - how to find articles or understand the fundamentals of copyright. Remember, like many other things, learning something new is a process. Stay focused and ask for help at any stage of the process.
Good luck and have fun!
