Background Material
Many libraries provide guides about resources
in various subject areas (nursing, engineering, history, criminal justice,
etc.) that you may find helpful. Specialized encyclopedias, such as Encyclopedia of Human Biology, Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice,
and Encyclopedia of
Materials Science and Engineering, often provide excellent overviews
of a topic, which may give you some background information on your topic.
Ask a reference librarian about finding such resources if you need assistance.
Use your library
first!
If you want to use
a Consortium
library, check their hours and services first.
If you want to borrow
a book from a Consortium library, be sure to check the Circulation
Policies of that library.
Remember to obtain
a Consortium card from your home library before you go to another
library to check out a book. |
