Welcome to the HCOL 3000 library research guide, which is designed to help students writing Honors Theses conduct successful library research for a literature review in a thesis proposal as well as the in honors thesis. It is meant to support you as you take your research to the next level.
While your thesis advisor will likely recommend specific books and articles, your own research is critical. This research guide is not a source of discipline-based content, but does provide guidance on how to find discipline-specific resources.
For general reference questions, librarians are available at Howe Library at the Reference Desk, and remotely as well through our Ask the Libraries services, which include chat, e-mail, text and phone options.
Librarians are here to support and facilitate your research process, and are available for individual consultations by appointment.
You may wish to consult with a Subject Librarian in your discipline for help with in-depth thesis research at any stage of the research process, including help with defining and refining your thesis topic. Contact any of us by e-mail, and we will schedule a time that is mutually convenient to meet.
As the Honors College Librarian, please also feel free to contact me regarding all stages of your thesis process. You can contact me directly at: laurie.kutner@uvm.edu
