And after you've returned and are working on your research paper, remember the following:

  • Never hesitate to ask for help! Your instructors are ready to offer assistance, and the librarians in Carmichael Library are at your service. Contact information appears to the left.
  • If you need to use a Spanish language source, Google Translate offers excellent options for translating text. 
  • If our library doesn't have a book or a full-text article that you need, remember that you can request it for free using our interlibrary loan service! A link to the page appears below.
  •  Don't forget to cite your sources! A link to the library's citation page is below as well

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.

Cite your sources!

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!
