How do I get started?

Factual information such as biographical sources, statistics and almanacs can be found under Reference Tools, on the Heard library homepage.

Besides these resources, you may find the Subject Guides helpful in locating the information you need. They have been designed to organize basic pathways of accessing information on broad subject areas.

Government Information is also useful for obtaining statistical data like census information.

If you need additional help, ask a reference librarian.
