GSBPP Getting Started With Research Guide  

If you need help getting started with your research, click on the Ask a Librarian link on most of our Library web pages and guides to get help.

This guide will introduce you to resources and services for doing research on topics of interest to students and faculty in the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy (GSBPP).  It is fairly general in nature - other library web pages and guides address specific topics - this is intended to be a general introduction.

Use the colored tabs to navigate through the guide.

For a thorough introduction to using the Dudley Knox Library for research (for NPS students, faculty and staff), please view this 45 minute recorded Elluminate Live session.  If you already use Elluminate Live, just click on this link, no password necessary:
