- Highly suggest getting a library pin and library card because as a student you get access to a bunch of helpful resources such as scholarly blogs, books, AP Style for journalists, and resources that are much more helpful than google or wikipedia
There are tips available on how to cite in APA and MLA style
Articles and Databases can be organized depending on the journalist or professor
put into consideration to your topic and which topic applies best to your search
You can also see someone in person on the 2nd floor on the reference desk
They can also refer you to other students and faculty to help you out
Theres also references by appt on the 4th floor
WIKIPEDIA
It can be helpful, but not the most resourceful
people can still change it, but there is a “reference and notes” section.
go directly to the references
search SJSU library catalog
“classic catalog” displays a little bit better and more organized/ efficient— recommended
We also have access to San Jose Public Library
it may not always have the best scholarly resources, but nonetheless opens up more resources more available to K-12 books and such
same catalog shared with SJSU/ King Library
23 branches
children’s books, etc
Ebook is also available to students and faculty
You can read it online or download it
The catalog is organized like google search algorithm wise.. so you really have look and read on what book will best best for you
COPYRIGHT
you actually can’t be sued for copyright
you’re good through using it for Canvas but if you use it on your blog you can’t do that
they draw a line for educational use vs. public use
Libraries along California can switch print books (loan) to each other, but that doesn’t work for e-books
be aware of due dates! overdue fines can rack up
you can check box to filter out peer reviewed and scholarly articles
make sure to do Relevance because it automatically goes to Date Newest
this is for engineers and science people
You can also make folders to organize everything for your search
You can also cite it
