The document discusses how to search for and access resources on project management from the KU Libraries. It outlines (1) using databases on the libraries' homepage to find articles, (2) requesting full-text articles when only abstracts are available, (3) using Google Scholar and the online catalog to find books and have them delivered to the Edwards Campus library. The document walks through examples of searching the General Business Sources and ABI/INFORM databases for project management articles, and using the catalog to request a book.
