Sierra College Library has so Much to Offer!


Hello,

I had no idea that when I ever did a “Google” search for speech that I was only scratching the surface of my resources.  It has never occurred to me to go to the Sierra College library.  It says in our text book that “books” remain a key source of information which most includes “peer review.” Peer review is important because it contributes toward the credibility of the article.  I will utilize the library’s online catalog entry.  For the most current information, I could look for journals, magazines, and newspapers.  The library provides access to full-text databases of articles from periodicals.  I didn’t know that government publications existed!  Utilizing reference materials is another area I would enjoy exploring for my next speech.  My Sierra Counselor suggested I take a library reference class this semester.  After reaching Chapter 6, I can definitely understand why becoming familiar with the campus library would contribute significantly to the quality of my next speech.
