honors thesis, Duke Libraries can help!
- Meet with a librarian for one-on-one help in a research consultation
- Find articles and data to support your arguments in full-text research databases and e-journals (get them off campus, too!)
- Need to answer "where"? Or how things change from here to there? Use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to map, analyze, and compare any digital data that varies by location, or use the library's extensive map resources.
- How many? How much? Strengthen your argument with empirical data. Data Services helps researchers identify and manage data sources for a variety of projects.
- Take a look at the library guide for tips for beginning your papers and projects
- Check out the library's subject guides for tips on researching military history, Shakespeare, poli sci, and more
- Keep your sources organized -- and format bibliographies in seconds! -- with Endnote or RefWorks
- Can't make it to the library today? Visit a reference librarian with office hours in public policy, chemistry, history, physics, math and English
- Can't find what you're looking for at Duke? Borrow books and articles from other libraries through interlibrary loan or from UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, or NC Central with your Duke ID
- The Durden Prizes and Middlesworth Awards aren't just for honors theses...submit your papers and projects for consideration -- you could earn $1000!
