This guide was put together with the goal of helping students in Dr. Jennifer Austin's Fall 2019 Language Acquisition course get started with finding peer-reviewed journal articles for their final project.  It is intended to complement and supplement the November 12, 2019 library research instruction session.

By no means is this an exhaustive guide to doing research, so if you have any questions, please get in touch with Bonnie Fong (her contact information is along the right column) or Ask-A-Librarian.
