OVERVIEW

Spring weather Welcome to our Academic Scholars Institute Web pages for 2005. This year you will be learning about how to do basic library research, how to avoid plagiarizing the ideas of others, and how to document what you discover in MLA style. You will acquire a basic research toolkit that you can take with you through the next four years, expanding and refining as you go. We hope that you will also get the idea that the Dana librarians are here to help you succeed! Whether you contact us at the desk, by telephone, or online, our mission is to assist you in finding the information you need.

Best of luck in your academic endeavors.
