Navigating the Library

Libraries can be intimidating the first time you need to do some serious research. As you get into high school and college, your work in the library changes a bit--and it is a little different from walking in and browsing the books. As a researcher, you'll need to know where to find journal articles and archive materials. Fortunately, a reference librarian can help you along the way. But first you need to know what a reference librarian does!

I've put together a library glossary to help you navigate around the thousands of items you'll find in a research library. Be careful--research can be addictive!
