November 2011
Hello from the University of South Carolina Libraries,
Enjoy this next newsletter highlighting services and resources to assist you and your students in the classroom and research. Please continue to submit your requests for purchase and provide any feedback you have about electronic books on the form at the bottom of this message.
In the Spring 2012 semester, I will be co-teaching a section of the library's one credit course, LIBR 100 003 Information Literacy, with an emphasis on science resources. If you know of undergraduate students who would benefit from an increased understanding of scientific literature research, please encourage them to register.
All the best,
Andrea

Some of these earlier theses are also being converted to full text, which adds another reason to check out this resource if you haven't lately. Click here to access.

Each guide is created by librarians for the students and faculty at University of South Carolina. Don't know where to start? The guide will lead you to books, journal articles, internet resources, and more on whatever topic you are researching. Take a look!
