LIBRARY RESOURCES: Hot Topics Guides

When patrons click on the "Subject Resource Guides" on the library website, research guides for many academic subjects are brought up. These contains databases, links, contact info, and other resources targeted by major or specialty subject.

In addition to this, there are several "Hot Topics" guides. Instead of targeting an academic major, the hot topics guides offer resources related to current events and themes. If a student wants to use relevant academic resources to investigate the earthquake/rebuilding in Haiti, or Global Climate Change they can find a host of credible academic information on these guides.


Of recent interest, a new hot topic guide has been produced about Narco-Violence in Mexico.


Check these out and feel free to offer any comments about what you think!!
