Start off by consulting research guides (http://harvard.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) , especially if you're unfamiliar with the discipline. 2. Use encyclopedias to get an overview of the topic. Oxford Reference Online (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) and Encyclopedia Britannica (http://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f3…) are great starting points. 3. You can find encyclopedias on Hollis+ using “Advanced Search” and typing “encyclopedias” under the subject. Did You Know...? blue books stacked on top of each other ... that you can quickly access e-books on HOLLIS+ without visiting the library? Simply type a topic of your choice in the main ("Everything") search bar on HOLLIS+, and limit your search to "Books" before clicking the search button. When you get to the results page, click "Online" in the "Show only" menu at the top of the screen. All the resources on this page should now be e-books. As an added convenience, you should be able to search through e-books for keywords, making it even easier to find what you're looking for!
