Students can use library guides to acclimate themselves to college-level research. Students with varying research knowledge will benefit by knowing UNF library guides. They will feel more confident as a scholar knowing when and how to locate UNF library guides and other college/university library guide information.
Library guides are free for anyone to browse. You do not need UNF authentication to read our university library guides. Therefore, you are invited to browse library guides prior to attending UNF. Start with general information library guides and then move to topic and subject information. The general guides will provide you with an overview of library policies and activities whereas the topic and subject guides will prepare you for starting basic research. Other guides will prepare you for signing up for research tools such as RefWorks, a citation management tool. The UNF librarians created a Tutorials library guide to introduce new students to searching and using tools and resources effectively. Library guides can act as tools for preparing for research or as remedial tools when feeling overwhelmed. Professors may use library guides for direct instruction and as a student, you may have noticed that a library guide is linked in each online Canvas course.
