Basic Library Resources

Books CDs and DVDs Magazines and journals Newspapers Vertical File materials

Library Books

A book can be a good resource for research on health and safety topics.

Use the library catalog to find a book on your topic. The catalog does not look inside the contents of the

book. You need to use the INDEX or the TABLE of CONTENTS of the book to help you locate your topic in the book.

Books located on the Internet can be searched for keywords online.

Magazine and newspaper articles

A magazine or a newspaper are also good places to search for information on health and safety topics.

Use the library databases in EbscoHOST to find articles. There are search boxes on the first page of this LibGuide to help.

Search using keywords to find articles, such as “knife safety” AND kitchens.
