These are some of the questions a lot of students have when getting started on major research projects like comps.  Don't hesitate to ask me for more help with these or any other question you might have.

Even when you're not on campus, you can still use the library's online resources (e.g., subscriptions to journals, bibliographic databases). Find databases like JSTOR and EconLit on the Databases list and, when you click on them, you should be taken to the blue Carleton login screen. If that doesn't happen, log in to the proxy server linked on the off-campus access page linked below and you'll be able to access the library's resources as if you were here.
