Introduction to Research

Welcome to the Hood College Library's Introduction to Research page! After reviewing this guide, you'll learn research strategies that will help you:

• Create a research question;
• Find sources using the library's databases and research guides;
• Evaluate sources;
• Cite your sources; and
• Contact a librarian to get help with your project. 

Research librarians help students, faculty, and staff with their research. If you have questions, need guidance, or just want to talk through your research, get in touch with one of our research librarians below. You can also make an appointment through our scheduling tool, or email, text, or chat us during library hours.
