Library Guides

Research indicates that students, faculty, and staff underuse library guides during the research process because they (1) do not know what they are and (2) do not know how to find them (Bagshaw & Yorke-Barber, 2018; Ouellette, 2011). The purpose of this library guide is to define what library guides are, describe how to find your UNF library guides, and when necessary how to search for library guides from other colleges and universities throughout the world. Additionally, this guide will provide information on how students can take advantage of library guides to grow as researchers and how faculty can use them to teach how to research.

You can maneuver this library guide by clicking on the blue tabs. The "Start Here" tab will provide you with the introduction to the guide as well as the this guide's learning objectives. The "Definition of the Library Guide" will better define the tool and provide you with background information on the company that supports LibGuides. The "Types of Library Guides" will differentiate the types of guides (Subject, Course, Topic, and General Resource guides). The "Using Library Guides Effectively" tab will provide guidance for when students, staff, and faculty can use guides for learning and teaching. Finally, the "Get Help" tab will provide you with how to contact your librarians and library staff members when you need support.
