Getting Started

The UVU Fulton Library is the best place to start when you need to do research. Use this guide to learn more about the library and the resources it provides. 

What Is My Librarian Saying?

Librarians sometimes use very technical terms. If you're having trouble understanding what your instructor or a librarian is saying, take a look at the dictionary and definitions below.

How to Search

To get started locating research articles or books, try using the following suggested search terms in our Articles database (link below). You can change your search terms based on your topic. Here’s an example of some searches we could try to find out more about climate change and tourism!

  • “climate change” AND tourism
  • “global warming” AND “eco-tourism” AND Argentina
  • travel AND environment AND impact

The quotation marks keep our phrases together. The AND will make sure our articles pertain to all sets of search terms we enter.

Search for Articles

The articles tab on the library's homepageThe best place to start most searches is the search box on the library's homepage. This search box defaults to Articles, giving you quick access to popular and scholarly articles from thousands of different publications.
