Research

Use the Gale Resources Database to help you with your research.

ResearchIT CT will bring you to the Connecticut State Library website. You can search major newspapers from around the country, magazines, and popular databases.

We also have learning links for websites for the State of Connecticut, the National Archives, The US Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Museum.

You can access these on the Destiny Discovery homepage by clicking on the appropriate learning link icon.

Remember, when doing research you should ask yourself:

  • Is it timely? (Is the the most recent information on this topic?)

  • Is it accurate?

  • Is it unbiased? (Be sure the webnsite isn't trying to persuade you to buy something or to adopt a particular mindset.)

  • Is the author or the publisher an authority on this topic? (Do they have the credentials to back up what they are saying?)
