The Assignment

How to use this Research Guide

If this is your first time using a library research guide, don’t worry! I will explain how to navigate this essential library resource. The tabs above will give you an overview of what each section covers. By clicking on these tabs, you will find detailed information on how to start your research, use our library databases, access citation resources, conduct research off-campus, and find additional help contacts.

Why can't I just use Google?

Although reliable information is accessible through Google and Google Scholar, this assignment specifically requires the use of business periodicals like the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist, and other subscription-based journals. These publications go through a rigorous vetting process to ensure that the information they provide is accurate and verified. Our library databases include periodical databases that feature articles dating back to the 1800s, as well as contemporary pieces. This assignment asks you to explore how robotics and AI have impacted various industries and their processes in the past, present, and future. Remember, good, reliable information is often not free. Since your tuition funds these expensive library databases, be sure to take advantage of them!
