Research and Writing Conventions

The Research and Writing Convention of a Discipline  

We will focus on four resource groups to help you find information on the "research and writing convention" in your discipline/major, on career opportunities for your major, and/or any research topic that you are interested in exploring.

You can access these resources from the Library homepage:
1. OneSearch: A discovery system that will enable you to research any topic
2. Databases: where you can identify different types of writing/writing convention in your discipline
3. Research Guides: One for each discipline; to guide you through research, writing, and citing sources
4. Get Help: Online, in person, or make an appointment with a subject/discipline Librarian
