WHY ALL THE VERBAGE IN THIS GUIDE? WELL, RESEARCH IN CHICANA AND CHICANO STUDIES IS COMPLICATED BECAUSE IT IS MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND OFTEN CONTROVERSIAL.

CONSIDER TAKING A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS ADVICE. IT WILL SAVE YOU HOURS OF FRUSTRATION IN THE LONG-TERM.

This guide is intended to give you an idea of the Chicana and Chicano Studies research resources available to you at the Cal State Fullerton Pollak Library. The tabs contained in this guide will lead you through the research process including help with compiling and citing those resources.

Follow the taps across the top to:

• Get Started with selecting a topic, determining possible search terms and developing search strategies to find resources.
• Find Resources by exploring the types of resources available and where to look for those resources.
• Cite Resouces will help you create bibliographies, references lists or works cited page for your assignments.

Additional features, such as practice exercises, will be added as they are created. Please let me know what you think. Just send any comments or suggestions using the email or chat icons on the right side of this page. Or drop by the Chicana/Chicano Resource Center, PL-171.

Thank you,

Barbara Miller, Chicana/Chicano Resource Center Librarian
