LOCATING Information
Option: Print Module 4
In order to locate the sources you find in your search for information, it is useful to know how libraries and their Web sites are organized. ODU organizes information sources in a manner similar to that of most
university libraries.
ODU has three libraries:
- The Perry Library (which is our main library)
- The Hofheimer Art Library
- The Diehn Composers Room
