Child Development Research Guide

The Child Development Research Guide was created especially for students in Cal Poly Humboldt's Child Development and Family Relationships program. If you don't find what you are looking for, please contact Amanda Dinscore, College of Professional Studies Librarian, at amd212@humboldt.edu. I am always happy to help and can chat with you via email or meet in-person or online to discuss your research needs. You can also explore other options on our Research Help page.
