New to library research? Wondering where to start? Don't hesitate to reach out to me. You can also heck out our Introduction to Library Research guide.

1. Set up the UF VPN: When you're off campus, you will need to use the UF VPN software to access electronic databases, journals and books.
2. Use a Proxy Server: This option is great if you are only doing a fast search.
3. Search the library catalog for books or journal titles: Links to online books and journals are also contained within the catalog.
4. Search subject databases to find articles in journals: If you are trying to decide which database is appropriate for your research, look at the list of databases listed on the Databases and Journals Tab.
