UNIV 1000 First Year Experience

Before class gets started, please do the following:

1) Attendance Sign in: lib.nova.edu/attendance (online form)
(If the librarian passed around a paper sign-in sheet, there is no need to use the online form.)

2) Bookmark the UNIV 1000 course library guide: lib.nova.edu/univ1000
(This is your online handout, and you may need to refer back to it to complete homework assignments.)

This guide was created to support the library training for students enrolled in UNIV 1000. Throughout this guide, you will find information about the various resources and services offered at the NSU Libraries.

There is too much information about the library to cover in just this one session, so librarians will also visit the following undergraduate courses to focus on the specific concepts below:

• COMP 1500 - how to identify and evaluate information sources

• COMP 2000 - how to refine your research question/topic and modify your searches

• BIOL 1500 - how to find and cite articles for your lab report

• BIOL 1510 - how scientific publication works and finding articles for your lab report

There are six ways to ask a librarian for help using the Alvin Sherman Library:

• In Person (at the Reference Desk on the second floor)
• Phone
• Email (refdesk@nova.edu)
• Chat
• Text
• Individual Appointments 
  (recommended for complex topics)
