BEFORE YOUR VISIT

You can begin your research at the University of Minnesota Libraries from your home or school with any computer linked to the Internet. The Libraries home page describes the libraries and lists many of the electronic resources available from our campus libraries. The home page includes a search box leading into MNCAT, our online catalog. Make a list of the most promising resources so you can use them when you visit campus. Decide which library is best for your topic, check the hours, and take a tutorial to guide your research process. Visit the section of this guide that explains BOOKS.

Before coming to visit the U of M Libraries in person, find as much about your topic using resources close to home: your school and public library, and also by using quality Web resources. Your time at the U of M Libraries will be spent more efficiently if you get a good start. Here are some ways to get ready for research:
