Why should you spend your time exploring this tutorial?
Many students don't realize that libraries and library use are essential components of their college education.
Much of the learning you achieve in college courses will occur outside the classroom. In the library you can
- Get facts and definitions.
- Answer questions.
- Explore difficult concepts and ideas.
- Solve problems.
- Ask librarians for help and suggestions with your research interests!
You might think of the library as a laboratory for exploring your ideas.
But don't forget how useful the library can be for specific assignments--expect to use the library resources
- For short class asignments.
- To find assigned readings.
- To prepare research papers.
- And more!
