Welcome to UVM and the Howe Library! This research guide is designed to support your research for the Final Project: 1.) the group presentation that will be uploaded on the last day of class and 2.) the individual paper detailing the five books you personally chose for your group's fantasy book list and your own personal rationale for each of those texts.
Use your UVM NetID and password to log in to the UVM network through EZproxy before you begin your research, to access the UVM Libraries' licensed electronic resources, such as article databases, electronic journals, e-books, and more. Once you're logged in look for "ezproxy.uvm.edu" in the URL of the web page (e.g., http://library.uvm.edu.ezproxy.uvm.edu/) to ensure that you are connected to the UVM network. NOTE: after a database name indicates a licensed library database, restricted to UVM affiliates.
