Sources for Assignments

Librarians can help identify the best resources to be used for assignments.  We can work with you as you develop your assignments and we can work with you after they are in place. A Librarian would be glad to look over your syllabus and assignments and prepare a list of library resources to support your course. Keep in mind:

  • We can let you know which databases to suggest to your students, which journals we have, and which we don't carry.
  • We can gather reference books or other academic books to be available within the library for your class/assignment.
  • We can determine if the resources you are asking students to use are available in our collection.
  • Certain information is only available on the internet:  census data, government documents and statistics, for example.
  • Certain information is only available in the subscription databases, e.g., the majority of peer-reviewed journal articles.
