Getting Started
Many of the library’s resources require you to use the library’s links to get full access. It is important to start your academic research from the library’s website: going directly into a database (www.jstor.org) won't give you the same level of access that the library pays for. To use the library’s links to these resources, you must be registered with the library - this is different than being registered for class(es).
Please try to get into the library’s databases early in the semester - if you can’t, it will take a few days to process your account, so don’t wait until you need to begin finding sources.
Getting More Help - Don’t be afraid to Ask-the-Librarian! I won’t do your research for you, but I will help you figure out how to find what you need. My contact information is available at the top of the menu at the right (or at the bottom) of this page.
