Cite your sources!
"Citations 2" by fixedandfrailing (CC BY-SA 2.0)
One of the basic rules of library research is that you must cite the sources you draw on for information! Citation styles vary, depending on the field you are working in. Carmichael Library has developed a handy research guide to help you cite your sources, and we are happy to help you with citation questions. Please make use of our Citation Guide, and when in doubt, feel free to ask a librarian!
Use Interlibrary Loan
Since no library can carry everything, Interlibrary Loan allows you access to materials held throughout the state, country, and world - for FREE! You should see an Interlibrary Loan option in our Discovery or WorldCat systems when you pull up items our library does not have. Additionally, you may see ILL options in online databases like Google Scholar (if you follow these one-time set-up instructions) and PubMed. To set up an account or manually fill out a request, visit our Interlibrary Loan page.
