TAKING NOTES

If you need a good system for taking notes as you work on a research project, consider using EndNote or Zotero for notetaking and organization of your citations. St. Olaf has a guide that can help you:

Research Methods

The best way to find material on research methods in religion is to do a SUBJECT search in Catalyst using the terms "Religion methodology" and/or "Religion Study and teaching". A couple of good examples of recent books on this topic are:

The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods in the Study of Religion
Call Number: BL41 R686 2011
Eight Theories of Religion
Call Number: Carleton: BL41 .P36 2006

To locate other books about research methodology that are not located at St. Olaf or Carleton, try plugging the same SUBJECT terms into a WorldCat search and order books through interlibrary loan.
