EGS 215: Workplace Writing: Home

Hello! I'm John Burke and I'm your librarian. My job is to help you find the information you need for your assignments.  The Gardner-Harvey Library website and the Rentschler Library website have a lot of wonderful resources for your research needs, and the ones listed below are some great starting spots for your searches.

Please feel free to contact me using the methods listed under my picture on the right.  You can also use our Research Consultation form to make an appointment with me or any of our librarians.

I'm generally in the Middletown library (my office is behind the InfoDesk) from 8-5, Monday through Friday. I check my email anytime I'm awake, so you can nearly always get an answer from me fairly quickly. 

 If you aren't sure how to phrase your topic for searching, use our Pre-Search service to get suggestions on words to use and places to search.

Here are four quick (5 minutes or less) tutorials on finding articles, books, and e-books at Miami University:

• Articles & More (articles)
• Books & More (books)
• Finding Electronic Books (e-books)
• Focusing Your Search in Articles & More: a Two-Minute Tutorial (some additional tips on limiting your search)
