After reading through the text and watching the videos in this guide, you should be able to:

• Develop background knowledge related to your topic via reference sources
• Identify empirical research
• Locate empirical research
• Use information ethically

Don't forget! If at any point you need help during the research process please reach out to a librarian. You can contact the two librarians listed on this research guide (scroll down a little and you'll see us on the left). We are here to help with developing a topic, finding resources, identifying search terms, evaluating sources, citations, access issues, etc.  You can schedule a consultation with a librarian using the "Schedule Appointment" button below, or you can submit a question via our website's Ask Us! feature: https://askus.lib.lsu.edu/index.php
