Fundamentals of Communication: Library Resources

A quick introduction to Kirkwood Library resources for successfully completing your speeches requiring research.

Final words

Research is a complex process that involves:
  • wondering,
  • asking questions,
  • formulating ideas,
  • exploring the ideas of other writers and scholars that have come before you, and
  • incorporating those ideas into your own writing or speech.
It's a lot of work! Take it step by step, ask for help often (you don't have to wait until you're desperate!), and start your work early.
