Research Made Fast & Easy: With the end of the year in sight, maybe it is time for you to get a start on those research papers. No worries, we are here to help!

We will be looking at the ins and outs of TOPICsearch, a database that is offered to all patrons of Buda Public Library through the TexShare program.

Research Made Fast & Easy Part 2: Admit it, we all get a little scared when we hear the word “research”. That is why, we, here at the library would like to give you some more pointers on how to make the research process a bit easier and faster for you. We will be looking at a database called EBSCO Student Research Center and giving you some advice on how to search the database and others like it more efficiently and effectively.
