Welcome to the DACC Library research guide for Communication 1130 with Professor Purcell. The tabs on the left side of the screen will take you to information on how to approach your assignment and a variety of resources available at the DACC library.
Research guides are tools created by librarians to help students find valid, reliable, and credible information for their college coursework or any information need. They are intended to give a broad overview of a subject or skill, and guide you to a DACC Librarian when you need additional help, or just some tips on how to get started.
You can start a chat with a Librarian directly from the library website, or text, email, call or come in to a DACC Library location. Or make an appointment with a librarian online or in-person. Use the links in the Ask Us! box at the bottom of this page.
A persuasive speech seeks to sway, convince, or motivate your audience one way or another on your topic. The topic can be anything, but choose something that interests you. That makes the research process much more fun.
**Always check your professor's directions for your assignment**
Jump to the next page for for help on choosing a topic. Once you have chosen a topic, a good place to find articles and to do strategic searching would be in library databases such as Gale eBooks or Opposing Viewpoints in Context.
