Research Navigator.com is the one place where students can find authoritative research tools and sources for any subject, at any time. In addition to detailed content on the research process, academic writing, and documentation styles, Research Navigator offers students four exclusive databases of credible and reliable source content to get the research process started.
EBSCO's ContentSelect™ Academic Journal and Abstract Database, organized by subject, provides access to leading academic journal articles and abstracts. Instructors and students can search single or multiple disciplines simultaneously using either simple or sophisticated search strategies, such as keywords, article numbers, or Boolean operators. Articles include abstract and citation information and can be cut, pasted, emailed, or saved for later use.
The New York Times Search by Subject™ Archive is organized by academic subject and searchable by keyword, or multiple keywords. Instructors and students can view full-text articles from the world's leading journalists from The New York Times. The New York Times Search by Subject™ Archive is available exclusively to instructors and students through Research Navigator™.
“Best of the Web” Link Library™, organized by subject, offers editorially selected "best of the web" sites. Link Libraries are continually scanned and kept up to date providing the most relevant and accurate links for research assignments.
The Financial Times Article Archive and Company Financials Database allows users to search a one-year archive of this leading daily business newspaper for news stories affecting companies, industries, and economies. Also use this database to access five-year financials for the 500 largest U.S. companies (by gross revenue).
Research Navigator™ also includes Library Guides to 31 core disciplines. Each library guide includes Library of Congress and Dewey call numbers for that subject area; an overview of major databases; selected print and online journals; a listing of key associations, organizations and societies; catalogs and indexes; newsgroups; and links to metasites of interest for that discipline.
An online Grammar Guide spells out some of the rules and conventions of standard written English, addressing sentence structure, use of articles, plurals and possessives, pronouns, subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, punctuation, and more.
The AutoCite tool allows students to select their documentation style (e.g., APA), and then fill in fields with information about their sources. AutoCite will automatically create the entry in the proper format and generate a “Works Cited” or “References” list that students can print or cut, paste, and save.
