Library
resources are free for your use.
Libraries are
able to purchase one or several copies of a printed resource, or electronic books and articles which can be shared by many people.
Library
resources are organized.
Items are organized
so you can find all the sources on a topic. For example, when you
search for a book in the library catalog you will get a call number.
The books shelved near that call number will cover a similar
topic.
Library
resources are meant to be kept permanently.
A primary function
of a library is to be an organized storehouse of information published
throughout time. As well as finding very current information, you
can also find books that are no longer published and older issues
of magazines.
Library
resources come with personal assistance.
Librarians are trained to help you. They'll help you learn to use
print and online resources and answer any questions that you have.
