The Life-Changing Magic of Instructional Videos

Are you in a research funk? Sometimes, it is hard to know where to start when beginning the research project. Likewise, the research process can easily become daunting. The D’Youville College Library wants to help make the research process straightforward and easy for you, which is why we created a new page within our website to help you find instructional video tutorials.
