  Specific Library Resources to help you get started:
• Access the Strayer UniversityOnline Library here.
• Introductory Search – Use the home page’s search box to keyword search many, but not
  all, databases.
• Targeted Search – Scroll to the bottom of the page for an A to Z listing of all databases.
  Float over each link to see a description of the database and click to load that particular
  database’s custom search page. Custom search pages include both basic and
  advanced search options.
• These databases are only partially searchable through the general search bar. You will
  have to search for them individually to find resources for your paper.
  o Nexis Uni – This contains legal information and would be useful to search for court cases
  in which your company has been involved.
  o Video Explaining Nexis Uni
• Research Starters are like the academic version of Wikipedia. Search on a topic to get
  an overview with links to other information within that topic. It will help you get ideas for
  keywords for your own searches and what you need to know in order to successfully
  write your paper.
