About this Guide
This resource guide has been designed for students in Sheza Alqera's Fall 2025 Expos course, The Life Well-Lived.
What follows is a preliminary "toolkit": some suggestions about where to concentrate your efforts. They represent our first best guesses at where you'll find good primary and secondary sources for your class projects.
Remember that good research is often about following up on hunches, testing out a hypothesis and then seeing where else (or to what else) it leads.
Good research is also about using language flexibly and strategically. It's normal to try several search word combinations before you strike gold
Please reach out if questions arise at any point in your project. A knowledgeable librarian will be in touch and you can either triage by email or set up a time to meet in person.
Enjoy your research adventure!
