This guide contains links to databases containing articles, scholarly online resources, and information about print and electronic materials in the Madigan Library that can be helpful to your research.

If you feel stuck at any point or have questions, please feel free to contact me in person in my office, through email or phone (information is on the right-hand side of this guide).  If I'm not available, try using our Ask a Librarian services.

You will be writing a rhetorical analysis of a farmous speech. Where does the library fit in with your paper?

For this paper, you are required to find 3 reliable sources that are related to the position or argument related in the speech you chose. At  least 1 of these sources must be an article from a scholarly journal. That's where the library comes in.

Using the resources and databases on this guide, you will be able to find reliable and scholarly articles, research, and other kinds of resources that you can use in your paper.
