The Library…
If you're looking for a good place to start planning or researching a
paper, Hoover library should be your first stop. Make a special note of
the research station and the hours of the research librarian. They're
a great help! Also be sure to check out the journal database. This is
a great place to find recent scholarly articles on almost any topic.
