Finding Sources
As an RCHK Student, you have access to thousands upon thousands of available sources for your research. The trick is to make sure you are not overwhelmed and that when you do your searches, you do them effectively and efficiently. You don't want to waste your precious time sorting through irrelevant sources that might lead you in an inconclusive direction.
Links to databases can be found throughout this libguide, and also can be found on the RCHK Library Online Resources page. If you are unsure where to find information that would be relevant to your topic, or need help navigating one of the databases, please speak to a subject teacher or Secondary Librarian.
Go to the "Read, Analyse and Evaluate your Sources" page in this libguide for further info on source evaluation.
