Research requires different types of resources including primary, secondary and grey literature. All peer-reviewed sources are scholarly sources, but not all scholarly sources are peer-reviewed! Peer-reviewed sources have been rigorously assessed by a panel of experts. To find peer-reviewed sources look for a check box in Omni and in databases near the filter section.
The subsequent tabs will provide you with links to research guides created by librarians at other Institutions on very specific topics. These links are not exhaustive.
The following table can help you decide what type of resource to look for.
