This guide was inspired, in part, by the "Database Searching" LibGuide from the Sojourner Truth Library at SUNY New Paltz and the "General Reference Guide" LibGuide from the University of New Mexico Libraries. It draws upon, adapts, and compiles existing work of the Reference Librarians at the Jim Dan Hill Library, with additions and organizational contributions from A. Barbour.
