Pathfinders are put together by librarians and faculty to help students. There are a few different guide types. Some guides will give you information on a particular area of study, like Anatomy. Other guides will assist you with universal skills, like performing research. Pathfinders frequently contain links to resources, like websites, databases, videos, etc. They also contain descriptive text, to help you figure out what you are doing. Consider a pathfinder to be an assistant that is always available and awake, from any location.
