Researcher Links

Research allows you to pursue your interests, to learn something new, to hone your problem-solving skills and to challenge yourself in new ways. With a self-initiated research project, you can create a product that represents the distillation of your interests and studies, and possibly, a real contribution to knowledge. Every field of study has its own research problems and methods. As a researcher, you seek answers to questions of great interest to you. Your research problem could be aesthetic, social, political, scientific, or technical. You choose the tools, gather, and analyze the data, and report your findings to a wider audience. Below are links to sources that can inform your research, of course there are many places to find information. We hope our growing selections can get you started!
