Library
resources go through a review process.
Librarians select books, magazines, journals, databases,
and Internet sites. The library collects sources considered reliable,
historically relevant, and valuable.
Library
resources are organized.
Items are organized
so you can find all the sources on a topic. For example, when you
search for a book in the library catalog you will get a call number.
The books shelved near the same call number will cover a similar
topic.
Library
resources provide access to current and historical information.
A primary function
of a library is to be an organized storehouse of information published
throughout time. As well as finding very current information, you
can also find books that are no longer published and older issues
of magazines.
Library
resources come with personal assistance.
Libraries have
staff who are trained to help you. The staff will assist you
in the use of print and electronic resources and answer any questions that you have.
