· The Library reference collections
include dictionaries and encyclopedias, handbooks and indexes, bibliographies,
directories and atlases. Most of the reference collection is found in the Smith
Library, while reference materials in nursing, pharmacy and biomedical sciences
are found in the Health Sciences Library. In addition to print-based reference
materials, the Library provides links to a growing number proprietary databases and electronic journal
collections, plus subject-based websites and online reference works under the
heading Internet Resources.
The reference staff has developed a series of Style
Guides, which provide information on managing footnotes and bibliographies.
·
The principal contacts
for reference service in Smith Library are David McKinney, Rosemary Green, and
Lucinda Thomas. Denise Blake provides reference assistance in the Health
Sciences Library. However, all professional librarians and other senior library
staff share coverage of evening and weekend hours and are prepared to help
students and faculty with research during those times. The demand for
assistance can be intense at times during the semester, so you may wish to make
an appointment with one of above-mentioned librarians if you have consultation
needs that are extensive.
