Laura Rogers, recent Seton Hall graduate and former student library worker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The library has many resources available that I wish I\u2019d known about as a freshman, especially for Diplomacy students. As someone who has worked at the library for the last four years, I\u2019d recommend that all students familiarize themselves with the library\u2019s website<\/a>, as most questions regarding the library can be answered there. On the website, you can find comprehensive lists of available books and eBooks, which are separated by subject. Many professors will put their textbooks on permanent reserve at the library. I highly recommend taking advantage of this resource, since I know how expensive some books can be and how they add up. Professors don\u2019t always announce when books are on reserve so it\u2019s important to check the website for yourself, especially because some professors use the same textbooks for different classes.<\/p>\n

Another aspect of the library that few students know about is the newspaper subscriptions<\/a> that are available through the website. I know that many professors encourage students to stay up to date on current events, whether it be through news or journal articles. Many of these are available for free online through the library. So, if you need to access to major newspapers like the New York Times<\/em> or Wall Street Journal <\/em>among others, I encourage all students to look at the subscriptions<\/a> the school already has access to.<\/p>\n

All disciplines have research guides<\/a>, which are a great starting point for finding relevant databases and resources. They\u2019re written by expert liaison librarians<\/a>\u00a0for each major, so I highly recommend students find out who their librarian is! I personally met with the Diplomacy subject librarian over the past four years by making a research appointment.<\/a> I met with her several times to discuss papers I\u2019ve written, including my senior thesis. She was incredibly helpful in providing me with tips to locate the sources I needed.<\/p>\n

While the website covers most of the resources you\u2019ll need, our subject librarians and circulation staff are always welcome to help any students navigate the resources the library offers in person or over chat or email.<\/p>\n
