- Library Resources Workbook, Revised. Phillips, Dennis Academic Libraries Databases Higher Education Information Sources Library Instruction Library Materials Library of Congress Classification Library Services Online Catalogs Optical Data Disks Reference Materials Users (Information) Workbooks Intended to provide a basic overview of the facilities and resources of the library on the Allentown Campus of Pennsylvania State University, this student workbook is designed to familiarize students with what is available to them in the library; to introduce them to skills likely to be used in varying degrees throughout life, regardless of what field is pursued; and to offer them a small but significant beginning in mastering the world of organized information. Instructions are provided to the student for the reading and completion of each section, and to let them know to whom the workbook should be submitted for correction as part of the final grading for the course. Following a floor plan of the library, the workbook is divided into 12 sections: (1) the library tour; (2) the Library Information Access System (LIAS), the computer catalog; (3) the campus card catalog and COM catalog; (4) the subject approach to locating material; (5) the Library of Congress Classification System; (6) periodical indexes; (7) newspaper and newspaper indexes; (8) encyclopedias; (9) almanacs and statistical sources; (10) audiovisual resources; (11) the microcomputer laboratory; and (12) CD-ROM (compact disk read-only-memory) database searching. Twelve assignment sheets are included in the workbook, one to accompany each chapter. (CGD)
