Sometimes the hardest part about research is just getting started. Two places to begin looking for information are the library and the Web.
When you think about libraries, the first things that probably come to mind are books and magazines--printed materials. But libraries also provide access to electronic resources like full-text magazine articles, periodical indexes, and online encyclopedias.
Steen Library collects quality information in a wide variety of formats. Many of the library's electronic resources are accessible through a Web browser....but library resources are different than most of the information that is freely available to you on the Web: library resources are reviewed and recommended by librarians.
Probably
the most important and helpful resource in the library are the
librarians. Librarians are here whenever you need help. The Librarians
at Steen Library are available via the iNFOdesk next
to the entrance of the library, the Reserve Room, by phone (936) 468-iNFO,
email, and through the web (Research and Instructional Services).
Any time you need help, just ask!
No one individual or group dictates what information is acceptable for the Web, or how it should be presented. This lack of authority allows many people to publish their opinions, ideas and creative works. While much of this information may be interesting, it is often not appropriate for academic research.
The librarians at Steen work hard to put quality information at your
fingertips. By consulting library resources first, you save yourself time,
frustration and grade points! Turn to the Web if you need more information
or other points of view.
