Library Research Guide |
 |
This research guide is truly a collaborative effort. I, Rachael Costello, have taken numerous ideas from professors, colleagues and other research guides over the last 13 years and put them all into this guide. I hope it is useful. Thanks to…
The history professors at Salem State College for requiring so much research and writing and having high expectations.
The creators of Cambridge College’s “Independent Learning Project Handbook.” I loved the idea of having examples for every section.
Jim Coogan from Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School for creating a great freshman research guide, which I have incorporated for 13 years in my own classroom.
Wayne Sylvester for opening up his filing cabinet and giving me all the research guides and ideas he had collected for 20+ years of teaching.
Cora Ducolon for suggesting the use of an editing sheet.
J.C. Honer for teaching me about criteria charts.
The Library Advisory Committee for their useful feedback in editing of this guide. The members of the committee who contributed to this guide include: Bill Buell, Denise Cartier, Amy Deacon, Mia Dugan, Laurie Dunnett, Carolyn Fichera, Robin Foss, Ellen Hart, Kevin Horgan, Marshall McKenzie, Irina O’Brien, Laura Oliveira, Elizabeth Poirier, Jonathan Seymour, Mike Stevens, Annie Young, especially Carolyn Fichera who edited this guide twice. Finally, special thanks to Lindsey Barlow and Kelsey Nadeau who prepared this document for the internet.
