Copies of Handouts for Research Guides (images)
These are images of all of the database searching handouts for the Beginning Research guide.
Research Process Online Tools
These links go to some online tools to help students visualize the research process (Source: University of Mississippi Libraries). They are for the beginning research LibGuide.
KwMap claims to be a “Keyword Map for the Whole Internet”! It may not be all that but it does help you come up with ideas about your topic with an interactive navigation panel and a list of keywords.
VisuWords is an online graphical dictionary. Put in any word and watch it go!
bubbl.us provides you with a fun way to map and visualize your topic. You have to create an account (it’s easy) to save, print and export. Rather than generating terms for you, this tool allows you to plot out your own words and connect them. bubbl.us is also great for group projects because you can add collaborators.
Concept mapping is another tool that you can use. There are templates that you can print out from the internet, like these at Thinkport. Or you can create one on your own using a sheet of scrap paper.
