Welcome
Your research librarians have put together guides for your assignment needs. These guides will be helpful when finding information for your presentation.
You can find valid, accurate, and credible sources for a variety of topics in the resources we've listed on these guides.
Remember that your research and presentations will be viewed by instructors and peers who are expecting to see academic resources, and not just information you found using Google which are questionable and often times may lack credibility or factual correctness.
