WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520 >> This last think-aloud, 00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.490 strategy number 5, just scope out other resources. 00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:10.350 I'm going to use the Canvas page 00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:14.340 as a guide to go through this last think-aloud because there's 00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:18.045 so many things that the library has 00:00:18.045 --> 00:00:24.090 besides digital databases that you can access. 00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:27.750 I wanted to let you know about the people in the departments and 00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:32.565 other resources within the library that might be useful towards your research. 00:00:32.565 --> 00:00:36.570 First of all, we have library liaisons. 00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:42.180 Library liaisons are each discipline has its own librarian. 00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:45.095 So no matter what discipline you are in, 00:00:45.095 --> 00:00:48.440 you will be able to find someone that can help you and you can click 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:52.265 the name to get to their e-mail and get help. 00:00:52.265 --> 00:01:02.210 Another service within the library that doesn't report to the library, 00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:07.380 but it's located in the library is the University Writing Centers. 00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:08.510 We have two of them, 00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.000 so there's an Undergraduate Writing Center, 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.910 and there is a Graduate Writing Center. 00:01:13.910 --> 00:01:16.715 The Undergraduate Writing Center is on the second floor, 00:01:16.715 --> 00:01:19.730 and the Graduate Writing Center is in Room 1180, 00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:21.880 which is the graduate reading room. 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:25.910 Each one of these services has e-tutoring so that you can 00:01:25.910 --> 00:01:31.910 submit your writing for assistance from the writing consultants. 00:01:31.910 --> 00:01:33.920 It is located in the library, 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.835 but does not report to the library. 00:01:36.835 --> 00:01:42.860 Subject guides are really helpful guides that are created by librarians. 00:01:42.860 --> 00:01:50.269 For example, all of these topics there are guides for every discipline, 00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:51.990 but there's also guides for, 00:01:51.990 --> 00:01:54.410 like here's the one on children's books, 00:01:54.410 --> 00:01:59.830 one on consumer health, one on copyright. 00:02:06.740 --> 00:02:11.030 Here's one on fundamentals of academic authorship in the US, 00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:14.150 and Allyson Mower is our copyright librarian. 00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:18.660 Those are really helpful guides where the librarians have 00:02:18.660 --> 00:02:22.835 put together resources that they think are the most valuable for you to have. 00:02:22.835 --> 00:02:24.830 Some other things you can look at there, 00:02:24.830 --> 00:02:27.785 there's a library guide for a literature review, 00:02:27.785 --> 00:02:31.195 there's one for literature review in the health sciences. 00:02:31.195 --> 00:02:33.755 The library does offer workshops 00:02:33.755 --> 00:02:36.400 and we don't have anything posted here right now, 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.145 but we will be doing some online workshops coming up in the fall, 00:02:41.145 --> 00:02:43.195 stay tuned for those. 00:02:43.195 --> 00:02:47.100 Inter-library loan, this is my favorite place. 00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:52.800 Don't ever pay for an article through inter-library loan, 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.495 if you can't find a full-text article that you need for your research. 00:02:56.495 --> 00:02:58.955 You log on with your unit 00:02:58.955 --> 00:03:02.795 and then fill out the form with what you're looking for, 00:03:02.795 --> 00:03:05.230 and they will help you find it for free. 00:03:05.230 --> 00:03:07.740 Suggest a purchase and media. 00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:11.810 If you're teaching and you need media for your class, 00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:13.490 you can order it through this form, 00:03:13.490 --> 00:03:15.655 you just log in with your unit. 00:03:15.655 --> 00:03:19.400 Also suggest a purchase if there's a book that you find that you 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.500 think would really benefit the library collection, 00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.280 you can also request a purchase. 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.410 During these times of COVID that's really hard to do, 00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:32.180 but that is a good thing. 00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:34.625 We do have a library guide 00:03:34.625 --> 00:03:40.775 for getting additional books during COVID if you're also interested in that. 00:03:40.775 --> 00:03:48.670 Special collections and digital media collections have primary resources, 00:03:48.670 --> 00:03:51.945 this is the digital library collection. 00:03:51.945 --> 00:04:00.840 They have some really interesting collections, photos, 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.855 they're doing a Utah COVID collection, 00:04:03.855 --> 00:04:07.980 there's a feature digital exhibit on 00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:13.505 a Salt Lake City-based newspaper that was published from 1872-1914. 00:04:13.505 --> 00:04:17.840 There's a lot of really good primary resources, Sanborn Fire Maps, 00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:23.375 or all the old fire maps from 1867 into the early 20th century. 00:04:23.375 --> 00:04:27.920 These resources, depending on what your research topic is, 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.175 you may be able to find some interesting things. 00:04:30.175 --> 00:04:31.845 We have a Ski Archive, 00:04:31.845 --> 00:04:34.010 there's an archive of Topaz, 00:04:34.010 --> 00:04:36.170 which was the Japanese internment camp. 00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:38.090 There's some really new topics and you 00:04:38.090 --> 00:04:39.770 should go through and take a look at those. 00:04:39.770 --> 00:04:42.710 We also have a government documents collection, 00:04:42.710 --> 00:04:45.950 so you can find government docs, 00:04:45.950

agencies like NASA, 00:04:55.730 --> 00:04:57.680 all of those can be found there. 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.780 In addition to the Marriott Library, 00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:05.300 we do also have the
