The libraries subscribe to numerous databases which give you access to thousands of journal and magazine articles not freely available in a typical Google search.\u00a0 Searching these databases instead of just Googling cuts downs on search time.\u00a0 Also, the articles you’ll find are more likely to be reliable sources.\u00a0 A librarian can help you evaluate your results to be sure.<\/p>\n

Specialized Librarians<\/span><\/h3>\nAlfred University Libraries has a team of six Librarians ready to help you with papers, projects and other research assignments.\u00a0 Whether it’s Art, English, Gerontology, Glass Science Engineering, Business, Planetary Science, Criminal Justice, Psychology, Global Studies or any of Alfred University’s 40 majors-or one you design yourself-we have a Librarian who specializes in your area.\u00a0 \u00a0All the Librarians are happy to help you anytime, but to connect with your “Personal Librarian” click\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\nAnswers!<\/span><\/h3>\nThis isn’t quite the same as the last one. Everyone who works in the libraries-from our student workers at the front desk to the Dean, Director or the Archivists (we have Archivists!) love to help out. That’s pretty much the number one reason people work in libraries. We all love questions-whatever you’re working on is more interesting than whatever we were doing so please interrupt us! So if you need directions to the Equestrian Center, help locating a book, or just don’t know where the bathroom is we’re here to help.<\/p>\n
Books<\/span><\/h3>\nWe snuck it in anyway because the books are still so good! From New York Times Best Sellers to 17th century leather bound multi-volume tomes we have tens of thousands of books. We love helping people find just the right one. Some are red, some are blue, some are old and some are new. Some are thin, some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat. (Okay, maybe not that last part.)
