Quickly find the best resources for your subject area, using KSL's Research Guides, this month's KSL Research Spotlight!
Whether you've taken a SAGES class or need targeted help in a discipline, or need to find patents, KSL web Research Guides get you started with what you need—no need to scroll through a long list of databases, wondering which ones are best for your subject.
- Browse by subject area to see what's there. (Tip: use your browser 'find' command (Ctrl F or Command F) to quickly find a class name like SAGES USSY or USSO, instead of scrolling through a list.) Or browse by author, if you know the librarian specializing in your area.
- Search in the subject box, for keywords like patents, or course name or topic.
- Select subject areas like Science or Engineering, to see the Research Guides that have been created.
More Research Guides are being added all the time, so visit often, or email a librarian you've worked with, and ask for a Research Guide on your favorite topic! Faculty can also ask their department librarian to create a Research Guide for a class or program, or send a request to askalibrarian@case.edu
Find Research Guides on the Kelvin Smith Library homepage, under Research Tools...or just type researchguides.case.edu in your browser!
