Linguistics

Welcome to the Linguistics Library Guide!

Finding sources can be daunting, so here are some solid steps to get started on your research! 

Here's how to start:

• Off Campus Access: If you are off campus, you will need to use one of two methods to access library resources. I recommend the VPN for most users, learn more in the remote access box below, or visit our Off-Campus Access page.
• Finding Resources through Primo: You can use Primo to find books, journals, and other library resources. Primo Searches the UF Catalog and the Florida Statewide Catalog, so take note of which library your resource is in!
• Search UF Library Catalog: You can search the UF Library Catalog directly here 
• Borrow Books from Other Libraries: For any other materials we don't have, you may use our InterLibrary Loan service (also free!)
• Databases: Look through the recommended databases for Linguistics in our Databases section in the menu. 
• You can also search through the rest of our databases in our A-Z Databases listing.
• Research Guides: You can also look through other UF Library Research Guides; your research should always interest you, and there are many multidisciplinary resources!
• Get Help from Librarians: Finally, we have a number of Librarians and subject specialists who are here to help. Below are some Librarians who can help with linguistics research:  
  Hélène Huet - European Studies Librarian
  Ginessa Mahar - Anthropology Librarian

UF grants access to myriad databases, books, and other resources. To access these when not on campus, you'll need to be connected to the UF VPN (Virtual Private Network).

To download the VPN, follow the directions from UF IT according to your device. 

After installing the VPN on your computer, you must log in to it before attempting to access library resources. 

Logging in

1. Make sure you are connected to the internet 
2. Find the Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client in your apps & open it.
3. In the VPN field, type vpn.ufl.edu. This will bring up a new window.
4. Enter your GatorLink credentials. You will need to use 2-factor authentication.
5. Make sure to turn the VPN on and log in before browsing off campus!
