Academic journals are available on the Internet.
Obscure materials can be ferreted out of databases and collections throughout the world. All of this can be undertaken in the comfort of a residence hall room. But information has moved beyond the printed page, and with so much available so easily, it's more important than ever that we give students the skills they need to make sense out of it all. Pelletier Library's web site includes a page of links to databases and collections around the world, and the library staff helps students learn how to search effectively for the material they need. If they still can't find it, then they can search national and even international archives.
