This tour will
highlight the
main areas of the Rio Hondo College Library Web site. Rio Hondo librarians
have spent many hours designing and providing content for this Web site.
What that means to you, the student, is that every
heading and link has been given thought as to its purpose and function. We
wanted the Web site to become a launching point for your research needs,
both on and off-campus. Go on! Bookmark us now --
or better yet -- make the Rio Library your homepage!
This page will start with a
brief explanation of the major sections of the Web site. (all screen shots of the
Library Web site in the tour have a red
border. Click on the top banner on each page to go back to the "live"
Library Web site!)

frequently used links.
Rio
WebCat
is our
web-accessible catalog of books and other materials that you can
find in the physical library. Under ARTICLES are listed several of
our popular databases, but do not limit yourself to just these
four!
Clicking on the
more
link will take you to the full range of databases to which you
have access.
Click the
Off Campus Access
link if you are not in the library but wish to use the databases. |
Guides and Instruction
lists many resources that will help you as a researcher and a
writer.
Subject Guides are individually
created and researched by Rio librarians to help you get started
on a number of typical research topics.
Citing Sources will give you many
examples of the most common MLA and the APA styles.
