HDFS 4070: Research in Human Development & Family Studies  Tags: class_web_pages hdfs_4070 human_development_family_studies  

This Primer focuses on Analyzing and Reviewing Research and Writing a Literature Review.  These scholarly activities are placed into an overall context that includes five broad and overlapping components comprising the research process. 

This class web page is organized around the research categories and many of the resources mentioned in Chapter 3A "Selecting a Problem and Reviewing the Research" in your textbook Exploring Research (7th edition) by Salkind.  I've customized the list of resources so that they reflect what we have access to at the BGSU Libraries.  Some database names are slightly different, and, in some instances, we have alternative databases or resources for some that Salkind mentions.

1. To borrow items from the libraries, you need your BGSU photo ID and a current record in the library database. For more detailed information, see Borrowing, Renewing, and Requesting.


2. For remote access to the online research databases, login in with your BGSU user name and password (same as for campus email, MyBGSU, and BGSU lab and library computers.)
   
   
3. If the University Libraries doesn't have what you need, chances are that OhioLINK does. OhioLINK is the 80+ academic (and some public) libraries that lend their resources to one another through an online requesting system. Look for the "Request this item" button in the OhioLINK catalog. For more detailed information, see OhioLINK requesting.
   
   
4. We're here to assist you! If you need help using the library, can't find what you want, have an assignment and need help getting started, Ask Us! for immediate help. Besides drop-in help, the University Libraries offer Individual Research Appointments for undergraduates & graduate students.
