The Air University (AU) Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is the focal point for activities related to the enhancement of teaching and learning at AU. The Air University Teaching and Learning Center Students and faculty can work with our AWC librarian to create library guides for topics they will be researching. Starting with Google or Yahoo is a just that, a start-every research project must go beyond that and our library fills that gap. In addition, the library creates guides for research on specific subjects, such as Space Debris. The connection the library provides to online databases is world class and should be consulted for any and all research projects. They offer guides to writing and citation, links to books on writing and citation, to citation generators, and downloads for those program. Fairchild Research Information Center is a rich resource for research.
