What's in this Guide

Welcome to UW! The Research and Discovery (RAD) Project is designed to give you a basic introduction to the information services and resources available to you as a new UW student, and to guide you in learning how to find academic books and articles for research in your major and beyond. You will:

  • Download your RAD Project worksheet (right column, this page).
  • Part I: Watch a short introductory video, visit a library, & take a survey.
  • Part II: Choose a topic and identify a Subject Guide to help you identify appropriate search tools.
  • Part III: Find and skim articles and books on your RAD topic.
  • Part IV: Write an essay reflecting on your RAD experience.
