Vanessa's Log
Today we met at Strozier Library. We got some information about checking stuff out of the library:
-you can check out laptops for 4 hours and it can leave the library
-you can check out textbooks but they can’t leave the library
-other items for checkout include calculators, Wii’s, go pros, headphones, and others
We went to a classroom of computers in the back and logged in
FSU has over 700 databases that students can use to find good, peer reviewed sources, they are all listed at the library website [https://www.lib.fsu.edu/find-database]
Make sure you use simple words when using these search engines so that you get the most results
We signed up for a refworks account which is a program where you can create and save citations
Three databases we learned about are academic search complete, google scholar, and JSTOR.
One search lets you search through every book and document at Florida State
If you have any questions about the library or need help with research, the front desk at Strozier can answer them
Mat graded our project proposals and reminded that if you need help you can go to his office hours
