You may not know this, but you don't have to visit the Goldstein Library in person to visit the Goldstein Library -- there's a whole virtual world of Goldstein out there on the internet that you can visit to satisfy your library needs!
Let's go over some of the great virtual resources and places that the Goldstein has to offer.
Just this past week, we updated the Goldstein Website! Here's a screenshot of the new look:
Some things of notice about the new site:
- This is an excellent place to start when looking for any materials at FSU, in particular if you are in the College of Communication and Information.
- The new search method is super convenient and really will help your information needs. Try it out!
- Anytime you want, if you click "Ask a Librarian," you will be in touch with a real live Goldstein staff member! We love your questions (and only get a few), so ask away!
- There is a newsfeed on the right of the page where you can get all the latest Goldstein updates.
- There are really handy links at the bottom of the page.
#2: The Goldstein Library for Distance Learners: (http://guides.lib.fsu.edu/content.php?pid=226099&sid=1872689)
This page was created especially for those students in the CCI, or otherwise, who take distance classes and so therefore can't always visit the Goldstein in person:
A few things to notice about this page:
- The yellow tabs are a great guide to all of your distance needs! You can even learn how to do citations or use Interlibrary Loan. The "Questions" tab links to an Ask A Librarian service where you can chat with a real live librarian.
- This site is geared toward distance learners. But it's resources are useful even if you do live in Tallahassee and simply don't want to leave the comfort of your own home!
- Finally, there is a hilarious video with a dancing Goldstein ninja that can help you meet your library needs. It's worth the watch even if you don't necessarily have library needs. Check it out:
#3: The Goldstein Library's Social Media Sites
We're trying to stay hip and in touch here at the Goldstein, and so we've set up some great social media sites. If you're here, you know that one of them is this blog. But maybe you don't know about Goldstein's Facebook page, Twitter account, or Klout account:
facebook.com/Goldsteinlibrary
Klout: http://klout.com/#/GoldLib/
These three resources are great places to stay in touch with the Goldstein Library! We are always posting about events, resources, jobs, and fun fun fun here @ Goldstein!
Moral of the story: We have great online resources here at the Goldstein, and this blog is just scraping the surface. Please use our resources!!! We'd love for you to visit us virtually.
