Database Help: Important reminders

Reminders for all database users

Citing Electronic Resources is a special section of the library's web site, under the link Internet Subject Resources.

Check there for examples of citing electronic resources from APA and MLA style manuals, as well as other suggested web sites.

This web site only contains information about the more heavily used databases.

Please call the Reference Desk at 886-5720 for assistance in choosing and searching other electronic and print resources.

Reminders for faculty

Reference librarians can provide instruction to your students for any of the library databases.

This instruction can be tailored to a very specific assignment, or can be general in nature. Please call the reference desk at 886-5720 to schedule library instruction sessions.

Many students are confused about the difference between finding an article in an electronic library database that is web-based, and locating information on the web (i.e. surfing, using a search engine).

Be sure you clarify this important difference for your students.
