Tools for Research

These general research tools are great for when you need a quick definition or an overview of a term, test, or procedure. They can also help you practice skills. If you're working on a paper, they can help you start your research or narrow down a topic, but once you have a more precise idea of what you're trying to find, you should start searching for articles and books.
