The presentation on the
UCSB library was rather repetitive for me because I am also enrolled in INT 1,
Intro to Library Research. The key points of this presentation were utilizing
the search features available on the UCSB library website. The basic search
allows for a single string of information to be entered. The advanced search
allows for unlimited strings of information to be entered with parameters such
as topic, author, and title. Additionally the advanced search gives the option
to search by date published, and refine searches by type of publication.
Besides the basic and advanced search tools the library website also has a
melvyl search option that allows UCSB students to find books at other UC
campuses and have them shipped to the UCSB library. Besides hard copies of
publications, the library also gives student access to many online databases
that contain scholarly journals and web resources.
The
Library is currently undergoing renovations so that a large wing of the library
is currently closed off and will be for a couple years. However, all the books
that were in that section of the library have been moved so that they are still
accessible.
