Humanities: Welcome!

Library Research Guide for the Humanities

From this guide you will learn:

• How to use the library website. 
• How to choose the right databases for your research needs.
• How to construct effective searches in library databases.
• How to evaluate sources for credibility and cite your sources.
• How to get help with your research. 

I recommend that you progress through the tabs on this guide in order; read the text and watch the videos.  You will acquire critical research skills that you can apply in life, on the job, and in college to succeed!  Reach out to me if you have questions, or need assistance.  Best of luck to you in your classes! 

Live chat is 24/7. However, Harper College librarians are available via live chat only during regular hours. After hours, the chat is staffed by librarians at our partner schools, and librarians across the globe.  I suggest that you make a 25-minute online Research Appointment, which can be scheduled at a convenient time for you, to work with a librarian on this research.
