Getting Started
This guide is designed to give you a selection of resources if you are just beginning to do research in the field of education. It covers general educational theory and practice, elementary and secondary education, curriculum and instruction, and guidance for documenting the resources you use. You may wish to visit other guides in the 'education' group if your topic is more specialized such as ESL or special education.
Use the tabs above to explore what is in this guide.
o Getting started--where you are now.
o Search strategy and tips--guidance for defining your question and planning a search strategy for using library databases
o Finding books--search for print or electronic books, or media, that is located in a library or online

Finally, and most importantly, do not be shy about asking for help. My contact information (Lynn Haggard) is listed on the Home tab as well as the Help tab. I also do appointments for people who need more in-depth assistance or tutoring. You can also call the reference desk at Forsyth Library (785-628-5283 OR 1-800-628-FHSU, ext. 5283) All the librarians can help you get started, or answer questions at any stage of the process.
