This Post Will Change Your Life
So, if anyone here is a student, they will find this post very helpful.
A lot of times at the desk we get people who are just starting their research and are unsure of where to begin. Margaret recently introduced me to the Undergraduate Virtual Library. It is a great way to search many of the online indexes and MNCAT at the same time. The best part about this jumbo-index is that you can browse the articles it finds and save the most relevant ones to use later. Many are available online, so you can complete a lot of research at home!
The Undergraduate Virtual Library link is located on the library homepage on the left side of the page, when you show people how to use it. I highly recommend using this site as a resource for yourselves and patrons.
Visit the Undergraduate Virtual Library at http://www.lib.umn.edu/undergrad/
All students please go to this resource, try searching, and make a comment about how it worked for you. Thanks!
