Chapter 6: Using Library Resources
Libraries and Services
Types of Libraries
Public libraries provide materials useful for very basic research and can often provide basic information and resources to get you started on your course projects. As a resident of the county or surrounding area, you can register and obtain a library card to borrow books. Most public libraries do not own the scholarly books and journals appropriate for more in-depth investigation. However, many public libraries do offer electronic databases and Internet access. These resources may be used in the library; and, if you have a library card from that city or county, frequently public library databases are accessible from home as well. Generally, these databases are geared for the general public or for local business people. Depending on the public library, you may find they duplicate or supplement those resources already available to you through the UMUC library databases.
