Librarians offer in-depth research help.
During library open hours, ask at the main desk for help finding what you need. The desk is usually staffed by student workers - if you have in-depth research questions, just let them know that you want to meet with a librarian.
Click on the Ask a Question tab on the right side of a library web page. It will bring you either to live chat, or to a place where you can leave a message.

Searching for information on the Internet has some benefits: it is free, convenient, easy to use and huge. However, there are limitations to doing research on the Internet as well: it is huge, impermanent, there is a lack of accountability, there is a lot of misinformation and it misses the scholarly information behind paywalls.
Keep in mind that information on the Internet will require you to closely evaluate the source.
Google Scholar is a freely-accessible web search engine that provides a simple way to search for scholarly literature. However, we do not know the full scope of what is covered because the indexing is not published.
Here is a LibGuide on Google Scholar.
