Introduction

This guide was put together with the goal of helping students in Instructor Juan Basualdo's Spring 2020 English Composition courses get started with finding a few sources for their research paper assignment.  It is intended to complement and supplement the library research instruction session taught.

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

Learning Objectives

Students attending the library research session for Instructor Basualdo's ENG 102 class will learn how to:

  • create MLA style citations for articles using library databases (such as Academic Search Premier or MLA International Bibliography)
