Welcome to the Philosophy Research Guide
Hello! My name is Grace Allbaugh, the Philosophy Librarian at Milner. This guide is meant to point researchers in the direction of commonly-used philosophy resources available at Illinois State University. This guide also contains resources to help with questions relating to religious studies. It should hopefully get you started with your work, but isn't necessarily comprehensive. Feel free to contact me, or use the Ask a Librarian box, if you have questions.
