Research tips for ART 039

This guide will help you find scholarly articles, books, and more. The resources linked here are related to your course, but many of the suggestions will work for other classes and projects.

1. Visit your librarian!

Librarians are available to help you build your research skills throughout your time at Swarthmore. Please don't hesitate to contact me about an appointment or send questions via email (rvargas1).

2. Don't just type keywords into a search box - find the scholarly conversation.

Scholars build on one another's work. You can trace these relationships by seeing who an author cites, and who cites them.
