Knowing librarians and supporting staff is a key element of library success. It makes it easier to ask questions to individuals that you know. It also helps to know the librarians' specializations so that you can ask the right questions to the right person.
The online catalog contains records of all cataloged materials in the library. This includes books, journals, and media.
The library offers many academic databases that can help with your research and assignments. These databases are generally paid for by your institution and offer a great deal of scholarly articles that would be extremely expensive for students otherwise.
Schedule your library visit and plan to spend at least 30 minutes to an hour browsing. The library has thousands of resources that may not be noticeable on a brief visit.
Knowing your research topic or specific assignment will save you from wasting valuable time. Every minute counts when deadlines are approaching!
Tip 6: Be mindful of the Library atmosphere
The library is still a place where many students come to study, read, or research in peace and quiet. Be mindful of this.
Visit as often as you can! The library is always adding new and informative resources.
