Exploring Library Resources: Ready, Set, Research!

Members learn from members!

Explore, Enrich, and Engage your research with Bobbie Monzon using JSTOR - a scholarly, interdisciplinary, electronic archive of journals and academic titles in the humanities and social sciences.

In this skillshare, members will learn how to access the database, review the collections, and begin a research project. Also available via JSTOR is Artstor's collection of high-quality images, photographs, artwork, maps, and more curated from museums and archives around the world and includes Open Access content and rare materials not found anywhere else.
