Library Resources

So if you are a student at USF and you need to access some information or if you are doing a research paper and you need some information...guess what, you got it!!!

I have been a student at USF for two years now and I didn't realize that I had access to a butt load of good resources! Cheryl McCoy took us on a tour of the online access that is at our fingertips. :)

Log into the library main page: www.lib.usf.edu

There you will see a tab labled "Research Help" (Its is red/pink). On the bottom of that main page, you will see bullets, that last bullet is labeled "Course Guides". There is a list of courses that are posted, such as JOU 4181: Public Affairs Reporting (This just happens to be the class that I am currently taking that is allowing me obtain these wonderful resources)

And wall-la!! You now have access to information:

"Covering city council meetings, courthouse, city hall, courts, society, and other special assignments. Emphasis is on coverage of major governmental units of all levels of government, including examination and interpretation of public documents and records."

Now, if your not in this particular class, you still can have access to many of the resources at the library. Take my advice, your time at USF will be much easier if you know the librarians!

If you are wanting more information, Cheryl McCoy is willing to answer ANY questions that ANY student may have. Her e-mail address is cmccoy@lib.usf.edu
