Dear Students:
It’s National Library Week and this year’s theme is Libraries Transform. During this week of celebration, we want to share with you 10 ways the library can transform your academic journey.
1. Vast resources
Our library offers a growing collection of 150+ research databases, containing over 60,000 journals, 250,000 e-books, and millions of theses and dissertations from universities worldwide. Start searching here.
2. Trusted research
The library provides access to academic, scholarly resources that offer accurate information to support your research.
3. Personal service
We provide quality, friendly service. Our librarians are available to meet with you individually, and are willing to work around your busy schedule. Librarian assistance is available by email (library@myunion.edu) and phone (513-487-1487). Schedule your appointment today.
4. Work from the convenience of home
The library offers students flexibility and convenience that is only a click away. You don’t have to find a parking space, or physically search for books.
5. Citations made easy
Working with the APA or MLA citation styles? Our databases have citation tools that will automatically format citations for your bibliography.
6. Stay current
Librarians can help you identify the top journals in your field. With database journal alerts, new journal issues will be delivered directly to your inbox. Sign up today.
7. Interlibrary loan
Need a book or article that is not in the library? Place an interlibrary loan request and we will get it from another library for free!
8. Career & job search
Looking for a job or polishing your professional skills? The library has hundreds of resources that offer the knowledge and tools to help you on your search.
9. Support
Don’t go it alone. Facing a daunting paper? Librarians are ready to help you think it through and find the sources you need to ace your assignment. Let’s start that project together.
10: Just for fun
We think research is fun. To help you improve your research skills and have fun, we developed a treasure hunt with six clues hidden throughout the library website.
