To see what databases we have available, click on the databases tab on the library homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) . Then click " All Databases (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/az.php) " under the "Database Links" drop-down menu. There are several drop down menus, but the one on the left lets you sort by subject. If you would like more hands-on assistance, you can make an appointment with your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/about/staff/specialists) , and they will meet with you either in person or virtually to show you what resources and databases are best for your assignment/research as well as how to navigate them.

Current LSU faculty, staff, and students should present their TigerCard at the time of checkout. Public patrons should use their designated public patron card, usually their driver's license or state-issued ID. The library cannot accept alternate forms of ID, such as your 89 number, other ID cards, etc. LSU Libraries | Borrowing Answered by: Access Services Staff

There are two ways to locate print books in the library's collection: - Print books are searchable in the LSU Libraries catalog (https://lsu.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/lsu/?rm=MORE+SEARCH+OP0%7C%7C%7C…) . To find books on a certain topic, you can either search for the topic as a keyword, or use the advanced search to look for subject tags. - Print books can also be found searching the library's Discovery (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) search tool, the default search box on the library's homepage. It searches across many of the library's databases and the catalog. Answered by: Electronic Resources
