DON'T get stuck on only using electronic resources. Your goal is to find the best resource to support your research or answer a question. Don't let the format (print or electronic) of the information dictate your research.
Follow the 15 minute rule - if after 15 minutes of library research , you are not finding material relevant to your topic, stop wasting your time and ask a librarian for help.
Confused about where to start? Overwhelmed by the number of choices? STOP, ask a librarian for help.
