This guide will help you to find and use the sources you need to succeed in your public speaking assignments.

Included in this guide are resources for:

• selecting a topic that is timely and interesting to you
• finding the sources you need to inform and/or persuade your audience
• citing your sources and avoiding plagiarism

Please do not hesitate to contact your campus librarians for more help. You can also click on the blue ASK a Librarian tab on the right side of the guide (and on almost every University Libraries webpage) to chat with a Penn State librarian or email a question.
