Improve your research and information literacy skills with Research101, a series of five modules designed to equip you with the research skills you'll need for college success. Each module is approximately 10-15 minutes long, and they all have pre and post self-tests, which will give you a good indication about what you already know, what you’ve learned, and what you might still need to go back and review. After completing a module and passing the post-test, you can print out a certificate of completion with your name on it to submit to instructors who assign the tutorial for course credit. To learn more about the tutorials, listen to this brief introduction (audio only).

Don't have much time? These one-minute tutorials are based on the more comprehensive tutorials above and cover the essentials of finding books, dvds, journal and news articles, choosing a database, and getting books our library doesn't own.
The following tutorials will introduce you to tools and resources that work in conjunction with Library resources and can assist you in your research assignments.
