How To Do Research: Organize Your Research

An introductory guide on the research process for graduate students.

Start Here!

Many of the CSU Library's databases offer research tools you can use to organize your research. These tools often allow you to save articles in the library databases or on cloud platforms, save searches, and create search alerts.

Before utilizing research tools, most databases require you to create an account in the database first.

This guide provides instructions for using research tools in the library's main vendors/databases. Use the tabs on the left to navigate to vendors or databases where you would like to utilize research tools.

For more information on creating search alerts in library databases, please see this guide.

If you have questions, please contact a librarian for assistance using the chat box on this page.
