LibGuides at USA: PSC 520: Research Methods and Design: Home

Welcome

Hello! I am Heather, the Social Sciences librarian. I have created this guide to support the PSC 520 class. Together, we will look at the research process:

How to develop a research question
How to use your research question to find resources
How to evaluate the resources you found
How to keep track of your work and your resources (through citation management)

If you have any further questions, please email me at hmbutler@southalabama.edu. Include your class code and professor's name.
