#howdoi | Research Resources

The Humanities Institute is dedicated to facilitating and encouraging scholars in the humanities and arts to getting research done. Humanities research and projects are often complicated because they involve interacting with data/information and human participants to conduct studies.

HI offers two humanities-focused features to help with doing research:

1. The #howdoi series, which interviews humanities scholars and experts who have experience conducting research to learn of their strategies and approaches; and
2. Research Resources, which collects useful tools used at different levels of research experience (undergraduate students, grad students, and faculty) in one place.  

Research Resource Tools: 

For Faculty Members: Faculty members can access various research tools to support their work. These resources include specialized databases, academic journals, and citation management software. Faculty can also benefit from grant writing assistance, collaborative research communication tools, and institutional repositories for publishing their work.

For Graduate Students: Graduate students can access research tools that aid their thesis and dissertation work. These include access to academic databases, e-journals, digital libraries, and dedicated study spaces. Graduate students can utilize reference management software and online databases. Workshops and training sessions on research methodologies, data analysis, and academic writing are also available.

For Undergraduate Students: Undergraduate students can explore a variety of research tools to assist with their coursework and independent projects. These resources include access to online databases and e-books. They can attend research skills workshops and seek guidance from librarians and academic advisors.
