Bryan needs books

 

Research Paper

Write a 5 to 7-page paper about the psychology topic of your choice. You must find at least 5 sources on your topic other than your textbook. You must have a variety of sources in your bibliography, no more than 2 of any type. Possible types of sources include:

   books

   articles from scholarly journals, magazines and/or newspapers

    websites

P.S. A good place to start is the library!

Bryan wants to get started on his psych paper. He knows that books are good sources for background information, and often give good overviews of a subject because their coverage is broader than that of other sources.

Bryan also knows that, to find books in Ryan, Arrigoni, and Rockland Libraries, he should begin by consulting our library catalog. In this chapter we'll discuss the catalog in greater detail: what it is, what's in it, and how to use it!
