Locating Quality <strong>Research</strong><br />
My advice is simple: work closely with a reference librarian to develop<br />
a process for locating the best quality sources for your research paper,<br />
especially if it’s your first college-level research paper assignment. I<br />
almost always work with a reference librarian to locate research after<br />
I’ve searched on my own. It’s amazing how these helpful professionals<br />
locate the critical source that I, for one reason or another, cannot find.<br />
If you are a registered LCCC student, you can work with a reference<br />
librarian in the following three ways:<br />
1. Face to face by going to the information sign at LCCC’s Ludden<br />
Library or by making an appointment<br />
2. Over the phone by calling 307-778-1206<br />
3. Online by e-mailing a reference librarian at libref@lccc.wy.edu or<br />
through your online class<br />
LCCC Reference Librarian Meghan Kelly recommends that students use<br />
the steps in a Pathfinder guide to locate research sources. A Pathfinder<br />
guide provides a simple, yet thorough process for locating a wide<br />
variety of quality sources for any topic. View the following video clip<br />
where Meghan explains the Pathfinder, and then read the subsequent<br />
Pathfinder she has developed for an analysis of poverty in America.<br />
