The hardest job is getting started on a job.

This guide includes a few, good information sources, some hints on designing your information search, and some tools for organizing the results. As you become familiar with the tools and with your topic, you'll probably need different sources and tools that you can't even describe right now. When that happens, contact me!

All of the resources in this guide are free to the Lehigh University community. All links work on campus; where needed, off campus links are provided (login with your Lehigh user ID/password). You can also use AnyConnect, the Lehigh VPN system, for seamless access. Links change without warning. If you have difficulty accessing any service, please contact me.
