College & Public
Libraries
TIP:
Most college libraries will
not allow you to check out books, so plan your trips
carefully. Check the online catalogs beforehand and
print out the records for the books you want to use.
Allow yourself plenty of time, and take plenty of spare
change for photocopying & printing.
SUPER BONUS TIP:
If you use the periodical
databases while at a college library, you can save
printing costs by emailing the articles to yourself.
Just test it to make sure your spam filter doesn't block
the messages.
