10 Things to Get You Started @ The Libraries

1. Contact me, your personal librarian, if you have any questions - research help, literature searches, instruction requests, suggestions for our collection, etc.
2. Off campus? Make sure to use the UF VPN to get access to all the Libraries have to offer - journals, books, and databases.
3. Bookmark the Science Library
4. Need articles? Search a database! Find ones appropriate for your research on the Articles Tab of this guide.
5. Looking for a book? Click on the Books & E-Books Tab. You can also renew your items and check your library account online using Primo.
6. Need something UF doesn't own? Use Interlibrary Loan to request it and we'll get it for you using our global library network.
7. Need course material? Use Course Reserves to access the textbooks, readings, and other resources for your classes.  
8. Want to keep your references for your paper organized? Learn about options to keep track of your references and generate bibliographies on the Managing Your References tab.
9. More than just books! Reserve a study room or check out all the tech & tools we have to offer.
