 Hi, this is Jessica Hagman. I'm the librarian at Alden Library for Communication Studies and this is the research guide for public speaking. Throughout the guide you'll find links to resources that you could use as you research for your speeches. If you have any questions, my contact information is in this guide or you can talk to any of my colleagues on the second floor of the library or use the chat box on our website. Thanks for visiting and let me know if you need any help. So this guide is organized by tabs and the tabs across the top are for types of information source such as newspaper and magazine articles or statistics. When you click on one of these tabs you'll go to a page where you will have recommended databases or tools for finding this kind of information source such as the America's Newspapers database for newspaper articles. When you click on this link it will actually take you out to that database where you can do your searching. And then also on this page you'll see some suggested tips or even a video that show you how to use that database. So there's a video here about America's Newspapers for example that starts off with me talking. The other tabs are by Subjects. So there's one for OU and Athens, Education in General, Sustainability, Media and Internet Topics, Health and Safety. You also have a tab here for help setting sources and writing annotated bibliography if you have an assignment like that. Let's take a look at the Sustainability tab and here there's two kinds of information. There's suggested links or sources of information based on that topic. So in this case we have opposing viewpoints or statistics and places you could look for information on sustainability topics. And then you also have links to other guides put together by librarians who are specialized in that subject. So there's a link to an environmental studies subject guide for example that you could look at if you really wanted to get into this topic. If you have any questions click on the Help link and you will find my contact information, phone, email, a link to schedule an appointment with me, as well as a chat box which is not available at the moment because I'm not at my desk. But I keep this open whenever I'm at my desk. There's also a link to get to the online chat for the General Ask a Librarian service or to give us a call or send a text message. And that's going to be available all the time so I'm not here at night of course but you could talk to a librarian 24-5 whenever the second floor is open. So if you have any questions about finding information, citing sources, whatever it is be sure to let us know.
