Welcome!

Welcome to the online research guide for students enrolled in English 2367, Special Topic: Detective Fiction in the Library Archive! This guide will help you as you conceive, compose, and complete your research-based assignments, whether you’re just learning to navigate the University Libraries’ resources, need to find and evaluate sources, or want assistance in using and integrating those sources effectively into your writing. Each page (which you can access using the menu to the left) includes tips and tutorials, selected reference materials, embedded search boxes, and other tools tailored to assist you as you conduct your research in English 2367.

You can view your course reserve list here. Visit the Circulation desk on the first floor of Thompson Library to borrow these materials for the specified loan period.
