Geography deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth. It includes the study of Climate and Environmental Change, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS), Food and Agriculture, Cities, Development and Justice, and Water Resources.
Here I have complied a list of recommended resources, listed to the left. However, researchers may also want to explore subject guides for a specific region (For example: South Asian Studies or Slavic & East European Studies) or visit the related guides for more specific topics below.
As the liaison librarian to the Department of Geography, I manage collections related to Geography, Maps, and GIS and support research and teaching in those areas. I am here to help! I am happy to offer research consultations to help you find primary and secondary sources, organize your data, and integrate information literacy concepts into your courses. You can read more about me and my research at my libraries profile page, and use the links under my photo to the left to email me or schedule a meeting! You can also use this form to suggest book, journal, and database purchases for the library.

Citation managers format references in the style you choose (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). Many of these have plug-ins for web browsers and word processors, and can make your life MUCH easier! I recommend Zotero, but all of these are good options for organizing your research and automatically creating in-text citations and reference lists.
IU students have free access to several citation managers (i.e., "bibliographic software").
NOTE: Always check the accuracy of citations created through these tools. They can be very helpful, but may make mistakes.
