Starting with the Library . . .
Library resources go through a review process.
Librarians select books, magazines, journals, databases,
and Web sites that are considered reliable, relevant, and valuable.
Library resources are organized.
Items are organized so you can find all the sources on a topic or subject. For example, when you
search for a book in the library catalog you will get a call number.
The books shelved near the same call number will cover a similar
topic.
Library resources are meant to be kept on a long-term basis.
A primary function of a library is to be an organized storehouse of information published
throughout time. As well as finding very current information, you
can also find books that are no longer published and older issues
of magazines.
Library sources come with personal assistance.
Libraries have staff who are trained to help you. They'll help you learn to use
online resources and answer any questions that you have.
