There are different types of libraries, each serving a specific purpose. As a GSC student you need to understand this in order to quickly find information that best meets your needs. Below is a very brief description of the types of libraries you will find in New Hampshire and what kinds of resources they are most likely to have.
There are some databases, such as those GSC leases via the GSC Discovery Service that GSC students can use online as long as they have their username and password. We consider these ‘Our databases’ because we have an agreement with Ebsco and pay to provide the information to our students.
Other libraries in the NHNUC also purchase databases for their students’ use. When they sign their agreements with the vendor they say the service will be used by their students. In order for a GSC student to use these databases they must physically go to the library and conduct a search on one of the library’s networked computers.
While generally this is not a problem for other NHCUC libraries, some guidance is required. Below are a few tips for using electronic resources at other NHCUC libraries:
