Are you new to graduate school? Are you struggling to write research-based assignments?  If yes, this page can help you start your research, introducing a range of writing and research resources available to you. The Selected Resources box introduces you to some writing and research resources in the library. The Introduction/Thesis Statement, Outline, and Literature Review boxes take you to sites that describe how to write these specific types of assignments. Additionally, we encourage you to explore our Writing Resources guide (be sure to open the "How to Write a…" tab on the upper left-hand side) and our Starting Your Research page!
