Welcome Senior Sequence!
Welcome USP Senior Sequence! Browse the tabs above to get started with research in your Area of Concentration. There is a lot of cross-over in the research areas, so be sure to browse the other tabs as resources in your area run dry.
Note that this page is just a starting point...there are lots of other resources that may be helpful in your research. The main USP research guide will help guide you to some of those additional resources.
If you have trouble identifying resources (databases, books, etc.) for your topic, feel free to contact Kelly for help. Amy Work, our GIS Librarian, can assist you with questions about GIS and poster printing.
