Research Guide for THRIVE Scholars, 1st & 2nd years (draft)

Rutgers Libraries are committed to supporting your academic success. The tabs below will introduce you to some essential resources and help you get started with your research.

If you have questions later, you can make an appointment to meet with me to discuss your research. I'll confirm the appointment and ask whether you want to meet in Alexander Library or online. Or you can just email me: glynn@rutgers.edu. I can answer any questions you may have, send links to relevant resources, perhaps provide screenshots of search strategies in a database.

I usually reply very promptly. But if time is the essence, on the Libraries homepage, you can Ask Us at the top. There are a number of options, including 24/7 chat reference.

This guide is intended primarily for first- and second-year students. If you'd like to take a deeper dive, explore more research options, check out the THRIVE guide for 3rd Year and Beyond. This also a general Intro Guide to the Libraries, as well specific research guides for any subject taught at Rutgers.
