Librarians are available to help students navigate college libraries and research. Students should learn to use library resources like the catalog to find books and databases to find scholarly articles. They will need to use the library for research assignments and should start the research process early. Students also need to understand how to properly cite sources to avoid plagiarism and learn the different citation styles required.
