It’s easy to get frustrated when you have a big project for a class due. There are times when the librarians will assist students and teachers in research projects by bringing together a list of electronic and print resources on a given topic. Pathfinders are designed to be a starting point for serious research and a way of grounding yourself in the core aspects of a topic. Please feel free to make suggestions of books or electronic materials you think should be on a pathfinder.
