Charles T. Jones Library Research Guides

 

This wiki is full of resources to help get you started in your topic. You will find links to books, magazines, journals and websites that will be helpful in your research. You'll also find suggestions for searching the library's catalog and for browsing the shelves.We'd love to hear about the books, periodicals, or websites that you have found helpful... That's why we've set up a wiki!

Send an email to library@centralpenn.edu to request user permissions to this wiki. You can edit these pages to include the websites or books that you have found to be the most useful to you. We have a couple of pages of information to get you started, so please edit the entries to include your suggestions. Feel free to describe the resources you add so that others know why they might visit the link. To navigate the pages, please use the Sidebar along the right (below the Meebo widget). If you don't see a subject you are interested in, let us know and we'll create one! You can also choose a topic from the Table of Contents below.

 

If you're just not sure where to start, try a general resource, like the ones below.

  • Start with IPL2.org's subject guide, where you can find librarian-reviewed resources on a variety of subjects.
  • If you specifically need newspaper or magazine articles, try IPL2's Newspapers & Magazines page.

 

To return to this page from anywhere in this wiki, just click FrontPage in the Sidebar at the right.

 

Any questions, e-mail the library, or IM using the Meebo Widget at the right!
