  •  Just getting started with ideas or need ways to develop your topic?

    • Roam the shelves in the library. Books are categorized by the Library of Congress Classification system (LC chart), a subject-based alpha-numeric convention. In the reference section of the library you'll find:
      • Encyclopedias cover the entire range of human knowledge in brief. A search for a basic concept recalls every mention of that concept in the encyclopedia, indicating different contexts for it and some of the fields of study that have explored it.
      • Subject specific encyclopedias cover the knowledge base of a single discipline in brief. A search here can familiarize you with some of the different contexts within which your topic has been discussed in a discipline. Reference materials cannot be checked out of the library, but you are welcome to make photocopies or take notes.

    • Your textbook introduces a topic to non-specialists and generally includes a bibliography of books and articles consulted.

    • Browse topics in a library database:
    • Government Information: Scan by topic to find government information and services on USA.gov.

  • After using any of these resources, always double-check your citations against the most current published guide.

    “The teachers here are great, they’re always willing to work with you, especially if you have a question on your homework. They will take the time to go over the material until you understand it even if you’re visiting three times a week. The Cambridge Campus is also a little more secluded while having an amazing natural environment around it that makes for a peaceful and productive learning environment.”

    “I was hesitant about attending Anoka-Ramsey, because I was not sure if going to a community college would be the right fit for me. I was worried that I would regret the decision of going to a community college before a university, however, after two years spent at Anoka-Ramsey I do not regret my decision at all. Anoka-Ramsey has exceeded my expectations. The classes and professors are engaging and kind. There is an active student body, and I feel perfectly at home!”
