Tips and Tricks

Don't be afraid to use more general resource databases or those from other subjects. For example, a psychology database may turn up more relevant information if you are looking for the mentality behind a business leader. Check out the full list of databases at our A-Z List.
Do use interlibrary loan if an article or book you want to read it isn't readily available at Immaculata. There is no cost to you and articles are normally received within 72 business hours.
Do look at other Immaculata University guides for assistance in your research, such as Databases 101 and Research Fundamentals.
