Education Librarian
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Fran, your Education Librarian, and welcome to the Education Research Guide!
This guide is intended as a starting place for students, faculty, and staff to discover resources and strategies for finding, evaluating, using, and creating information in and around education-related topics.
Explore the various tabs on the left for education-specific resources and/or check out our Research Tips and Tools Guides for additional research support.
You can also schedule a research consultation meeting with me at any time to get one-on-one research support.
Happy researching!
