Introduction to Research Tools in Religious Studies

 A good place to start your research is by using an Encyclopedia or Dictionary to learn more about your topic.  When you do so, you will not only understand the topic better, you will also be given some ideas about important terms that you can use in your research.   Once you have a better understanding about your topic, you can then look for books and articles. They will likely be the most important resources you use in your research.

To find Books use the library catalog.

To find Journal Articles use a database.

While this guide has separate sections providing more detail about specific tools, some  of the most highly used tools for Religious Studies are listed below:
