Did you know? We have access to resources and articles that you just can’t get from random online searching. For one thing, there are these expensive things called subscriptions. Foley Library has a lot of them and since your tuition helps pay the bill, why not use them?
We want all of our students (and faculty and staff!) to be aware of the many resources available online at Foley. For starters:
——————————————
Our library catalog is online. You find books, place holds or renew books without ever coming into the building.
Foley library has over 100 online article databases – many with full text articles!
Periodicals @ Foley is the gateway to all our journal subscriptions, both online and in print. The link to this great resource is under the Find Articles section of the Foley home page. In our databases, look for the Full Text Options link – it will take you directly to Periodicals @ Foley.
Research Guides are provided for your convenience, to direct you to the best resources for your field of study. If you don’t know where to start, a Research Guide can help you.
Even the librarians are online! Chat online with a librarian during library hours by using the Meebo link at the bottom of our webpage. After hours or anytime, use the “24/7 Chat with a Librarian” service. You’ll find that link at the top of the list on the right side of the library homepage.
————————
Like I said, those are just for starters. Contact the library for more information or for help using any of these resources. (Hint: See the Contact Us link on the home page!)
Happy searching!
Have a question about RefWorks? Need help with your search strategy? Call the Reference Desk!
Students often call their favorite librarian directly with their questions, but often those calls end with leaving a message. We love it that you called and we do want to help you, but we may be at a meeting or teaching classes or out of the office for the day (or the weekend!). The point is, it may only be a few minutes, but it may be a few days before we can return your call. So, if you need help NOW, call the Reference Desk at 800-498-5941. (You’ll be glad you did!)
PS – You can also chat with the Reference Desk! Click on the Meebo icon on the library’s homepage and ask away. When the library’s closed, use the 24/7 Chat With a Librarian service.
most of the students I talk to are really annoyed by people talking on their cell in the building. nobody wants to hear that!
