We have several guides at Penrose Library, organized by Subject Guides, Course Guides, and General Guides:
Subject Guides - for specific areas of study. If you are writing a paper for a Biology class, you can look in the Biology Subject Guide for recommended databases and sources.
Course Guides - for specific classes. If your class met with a librarian, it is likely there is a Course Guide available for that class.
General Guides - for help finding library resources, how to cite sources, among others.
