Online library access at the Big 3

[suzycupcake]

I used the NJ State Library for my TESU courses and the research librarians were really helpful. If I didn’t find something I needed, I used and inter library loan and had it mostly within a day or two.

Thanks, Suzy! Do you mean interlibrary loan at your local library or through TESU? Remind me, was your major psychology?

Most of what I needed was paid for through TESU (databases like EBSCO and ProQuest) but if there was anything I needed that I couldn't get through them, I went to the NJ State Library. If any of their databases didn't have it, I did an interlibrary loan through NJ State Library and they would just email me the article.

I hope I'm answering what you are asking because I only really had to do a few papers here and there prior to the capstone.  I did a BALS (LIB-495 was my capstone class). My capstone paper was The Impact of Childhood Obesity in the US.

How did you get access to NJ state library? Do you live in NJ? Or does being a TESU student entitle you to membership in that library?

You get access as a TESU student. This is off topic but they also offer a very cool tutoring service through SmartThinking where I submitted my capstone to their Online Writing Lab and had feedback within a couple hours.
