Thesis Research in Architecture: Get started

Here's how the Musagetes Library collection is arranged identifying Library of Congress Call Numbers of interest to Architecture. You can search by Call number in OMNI's (UW's online catalogue) Advanced search option.

University of Waterloo's Writing and Communication Centre offers numerous services and online resources for graduate students including virtual appointments, workshops, a dissertation bootcamp, et cetera.

Thesis Research in Architecture is a strategic guide for architecture graduate students beginning their thesis work. The guide will be especially helpful to students starting a literature review.

To get started, check out Library Services for Graduate Students for a description of the many practical library support services available. As your research takes you into unfamiliar disciplines remember to identify the subject librarian(s) best placed to help you.
