This is a library guide for Dr. Elaine Buckberg's ESPP 90B class, "IThe EV Revolution: Outlook, Environmental Impact, Policy, and Challenges" This class examines "the intersection of EVs, the energy transition, environmental science, policy, and economics." EVs, or electric vehicles, are increasingly common and increasingly important to meeting the challenges of climate change. 

Library Research: How to Do It. 

Library research is a learned skill. Everyone is building on things that they've learned in the past, whatever those are, and they're also learning new things. Like any type of learning, please don't be shy about asking questions. 

The main thing in finding information in library and information resources in print and on the internet is to be both persistent and playful. It takes both of these things to imagine keywords and phrases that you might search for.
