This guide was created to assist you with the research process for your Interdisciplinary Senior Seminar capstone project. The capstone may feel daunting at first, once we break the process down into smaller pieces, hopefully it will seem more manageable. Throughout the research process, your professor, faculty mentor, and librarian are available to help you with refining your research question, developing search terms, using library resources, and evaluating sources. If you need help with research, make an appointment with your librarian or reach out via email.
You can do it!
