What is a Research Guide?

• a course- or topic-specific online guide to Kishwaukee College Library sources
• some are for specific courses, and others are for topics of more general interest (e.g., Graphic Novels)
• built by Kish librarians on the popular "LibGuides" platform
• a place for students to learn essential information skills!

How can a Research Guide help my ​students?

• instructional videos show them how to use Library search tools
• when used with sample research assignments students learn:
  • how to get started on a project by narrowing a topic and finding background information
  • how to think critically about information sources
  • the concept of peer review, and how to find scholarly articles
  • and more!
