Through the Penn State University Libraries, you have access to millions of books and hundreds of academic databases. Add to that the countless resources available on the open Internet and a simple research task can quickly become complex.

As you engage in research, you may have questions about:

• Transforming a broad topic into a manageable question
• Finding relevant and credible information on your topic
• Searching library resources
• Citing your sources
• Getting technology to cooperate

Ask me, Joel Burkholder, for help!

You can usually find me in my office, Monday through Friday (8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). Feel free to stop by any time!

If you would like to schedule a time to meet, just let me know.

If I’m not available, please use Penn State University Libraries’ Ask a Librarian service.

This virtual service is staffed by librarians from across the entire University.

Access it any time by clicking on Ask a Librarian logo (located on the left-hand side of every University Libraries webpage).

We have the following handouts available at the service desk in the library at Penn State York:
