Subject Guides

    SCSU library are very good website, that facilitates us save time and very convenient to pick a topic, find articles or bibliography. All of these seven lines are very useful, and I pick to research “Subject Guides”, that line help us to identify the best sources for research in a particular subject area, and the better part that I think for here is do not require students waste time to create an account. When you enter into you will see “Select a Subject” and use English letters A-Z to representative different subject. After choose the subject and submit, the next page has more detailed information, such as Subject Description.

    In general there have four parts to help students identify the best sources. First: “Find Articles, Journals, Magazines and Newspapers” this part show students that the sources from databases, indexes, working papers and electronic journals. This part let students easily to find the correct books or papers include the name, author, and publication date you also can find it in here. Second: “Find Facts, Definitions, and Overviews” show the sources from dictionaries, encyclopedias and handbooks; this will help students to get the best definition more understanding of the subject. Third “Find Laws, Legislation, and Government Reports” that show sources from publications of government agencies and legislatures. For this part are show students the sources more authoritative and official.  Last part: “Use Web Resources” to show high-quality and reliable internet sites to support the sources.

    These were all things about “Subject Guides”. The line “Subject Guides” is very useful and helpful, students do not need to wise too many time to find the support or the sources about their subject anymore.
