Library resources are
purchased 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 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 websites. The library collects sources considered reliable,
credible and authoritative. The key idea of using the library is
that you are getting quality over quantity.
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 a call number that identifies where the item is located.
Similar books will have similar call numbers and are grouped
together for easy access
and retrieval.
Library resources come
with personal assistance.
Libraries have staff who are trained to help you. They'll answer
your questions and help you learn to use online and print
resources--at no charge.
Library resources are
available in the Library and on the Web.
The TCNJ Library
website is designed to help provide resources to support your
academic needs. The resources selected for the website have been
evaluated and are organized to streamline your research. Best of all,
personal assistance is available, via the Reference Desk, whether you are in the library or
at home.
