TCC Library: Research Guides
Subject and course guides
What's on this page?
What are research guides?
- Guides created to support research assignments in specific courses* (updated each quarter)
- Look at the menu to the right for the type of class (Art, English, History, etc.), click the link and find your course number and instructor's name
- General guides, such as evaluating sources or finding scholarships
What if you don't see a guide for your course?
*If you don't see your course, it is probably because your instructor did not request a guide. If you think a research guide would be helpful, let us know and we'll be happy to contact your instructor and get the information we need to create a useful guide.
