LIBRARY RESEARCH 101
2. WELCOME!
• The library staff is pleased to welcome you to your
Daytona State College Library! This guide will show you
how to use the library.
• Fortunately, most of our library resources are available
24/7 from any computer with an Internet connection. This
means that you can use the library even when it’s
closed.
3. LET’S GET STARTED!
• Here are the basics:
• You will often have assignments for which you’ll have to use
library sources.
• The library website is the starting point for finding all of those
sources.
• http://www.daytonastate.edu/library/
• The next slide is a picture of the library home page.
• Our location:
• Daytona Campus: Building 210 (the door by the manatee fountain)
• Deland Campus: Building 1 (behind the administration building)
• Always check the website for our hours of operation, as they
change for holidays and summer sessions.

5. HOW TO FIND SOURCES
• There are three kinds of sources available through the
library website: books, e-books, and articles.
• All three types of sources can be found using the library
search tool – the library catalog.
• The next few slides will take you step-by-step through
using the library catalog to find sources.

13. FIND YOUR BOOK ON THE SHELF
• Use the Call Number (for example: KF 4800 .Z9 I43
1997) to locate your book on the shelf.
• The call number is the exact location of the book on the
shelf. Each book has a unique number.
• If the shelf was a street and the book was a house, you
can think of the call number as the address of the book.
• Books are shelved alphabetically by the first few letters
of the call number, and are arranged by subject. Once
you find one book, the other books on that subject will be
nearby.
