Down with Google

Down with Google searches! …well, at least for your papers.

As the semester begins and teachers review their carefully-planned syllabi, an age-old feeling may set in as you skim the weekly list of assignments – panic. You wonder how you are going to write those excessively long papers in topics unfamiliar to you. Your professors have taken Wikipedia and Google from you. You feel unarmed, confused, and helpless.

Luckily for you, the staff at the Park Library can come to your rescue. We can help you search for scholarly articles using a variety of academic search engines. You can find a myriad of articles to help you on your way, and I can promise you that the results will be much more reliable than anything you find on Google. Scholarly articles have been peer-reviewed by experts in the field, so you know that whatever comes up is a legitimately-researched body of work.

Doesn’t that make you feel just a little bit better?

So stop in. Park Library is located on the second floor of Carroll Hall. We are open from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday. After Labor Day, we will be open from 9am-9pm Monday through Thursday, 9am-5pm on Friday, and 5:30pm-8:30pm on Sunday.

Oh, and food and drink are allowed so please don’t hesitate to utilize our resources.
