Welcome to the EWU Libraries Online Tutorial

This tutorial will familiarize you with the academic research process as well as the resources provided by the EWU Libraries. It is designed to help you complete your assignments that require library research. Because library research is complex, we've divided the tutorial into six sections, listed along the left side of the screen.

• The Research Process
• Defining Research Needs
• Developing a Research Strategy
• Conducting Research
• Evaluating Resources
• Incorporating Resources

To be successful, you should use each section of the tutorial when it is useful in completing your assignments. In other words, do not try to complete all of the tutorial in one sitting; take your particular assignment, and the tutorial, one step at a time.

We welcome your comments and suggestions for improvement. Please email Ielleen Miller or call 359-4816. Also, click the Help link at the top to get help from the reference librarians and other library departments.
