Library
resources are selected to meet your academic needs. A primary function of a
college library is to purchase and make available information that
supports college courses and the research needs of students. Both
current and older or "retrospective" information is available.
Library
resources go through a review process. Librarians select
resources for the library such as books, videos, magazines, journals,
databases, and web sites. The library selects sources considered
reliable, credible and authoritative. The key idea of using the library
is that you are getting quality resources specifically targeted to help
you with your assignments for classes.
Library
resources are organized. Items are organized so
you can quickly and easily find sources on a topic. For example, when
you search for a book in the Library Catalog, you will get the name of a
particular campus library—Cheyenne, Charleston, Henderson—and a
"call number" that identifies where the item is shelved in the library.
Similar books will have similar call numbers and are grouped together
for easy access and retrieval. Browsing these subject areas will often
lead you to other good sources.
Library
resources come with personal assistance.
Librarians are trained to help you. They'll answer your
questions, discuss your research needs with you, and help you learn to
use online, print, and other resources. CSN
Librarians are eager to make you an effective researcher.
Library
resources are available in the Library and on the Web. The CSN Library web site
makes available resources to support your academic
needs. The resources selected for the web site have been evaluated and
are organized to streamline your research. Best of all, personal
assistance is available at the Library Reference Desk, over the phone,
via chat on the Library web page, or via email.
