 Hi everyone, my name is Erica and I'm one of the librarians here at Janks and this is Janks Library. So in this library module you're going to learn how to use some of our library resources like our normal catalog for finding books and library databases for finding scholarly articles so that you can access the information that you need for your research. Here at Janks Library we have lots of different types of information that is available to you. Some of it is accessible here within the library such as books located across the five levels of stacks we have in the library, books and other resources are organized using the Library of Congress classification system which generally means that they're grouped by topic area. We also have periodicals and magazines available for you to find scholarly articles on your area of interest. But remember this is just what's within Janks. You'll find that a vast majority of our material is actually available online for you which means you can access it anytime anywhere. Continue on to take a look at what the online module will look like that you're going to be working through. This module will take you from the starting point of your research providing suggestions on where to begin and then introduce you to specific search strategies that you can use across our various library resources to find the information you need. Some of this information you may already be familiar with such as books or ebooks or maybe professional magazines on a topic area of interest. Other types of information such as peer-review journal articles may be new to you. You'll learn how you can search Janks online resources to find not only information you need for your research but also information you can access from wherever you are anytime. So this module is designed to get you familiar with some of our Janks library resources but also answer common questions that you might have about using the library such as I'm an online student can I still get access to books here at Janks or my professor said that I need to read a really specific article for class because Janks library have access to this particular article and hopefully by the end of this module you'll have an idea of how Janks library can help you on your research search. So continue on through the rest of this module but remember if you have any questions, librarians are here to help.
