The government produces a large amount of publications including congressional, agency and administrative reports from hundreds of departments and agencies. Most of these publications are considered to be authoritative and credible. However, while some government reports may undergo internal review processes, not all of these documents are considered peer-reviewed or scholarly.

Most assistantships would be found on the LSU Handshake website (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/handshake.php) , though some opportunities are handled directly through the hiring department. It wouldn't hurt to check with a staff member in your graduate program to see if they are aware of assistantships not listed on Handshake. ________________________________________________________________________ More information on Handshake.... How to Access Handshake Admitted Students Undergraduate and Graduate students receive access to Handshake on June 15. At that time, you can log in to Handshake using your myLSU email and password at lsu.joinhandshake.com (https://lsu.joinhandshake.com/) or download the Handshake Jobs & Careers App (download in the Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1220620171) or download through Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joinhandshake.student…) ). If a user experiences a barrier in access to Handshake or content within due to a disability, please contact the LSU Olinde Career Center at career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) . For information on how to apply to on-campus and off-campus jobs, visit the Student Employment webpage (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/studentemployment/students.php) . If you would like to schedule a meeting with our team, or access other career center resources prior to receiving Handshake access, please contact us at career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) and we are happy to assist you. Graduate Students: Please note, while some graduate assistantships may be posted in Handshake, most opportunities are managed directly through the hiring department. Please contact your graduate program and campus contacts directly to inquire about available assistantships. Alumni Alumni retain free access to Handshake and to most other career center resources, including appointments with the career center team.

Rsum Uploads Please make note that all rsums must be approved by the LSU Olinde Career Center before becoming active in Handshake for applying for jobs or participating in on-campus interviews. Please be prompt in submitting a rsum for activation in Handshake. The career center makes every effort to be timely in the document approval process, but cannot guarantee a turnaround of less than two (2) business days. Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings We work hard to keep fraudulent postings out of Handshake (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/handshake.php) by using some common red flags typically considered suspicious. While red flags dont automatically remove a job posting, we research the company and posting if suspicion arises before making a decision. You should research suspicious companies or postings, too (or dont apply). The Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/about/FraudulentandScamJobPostingsbook…) guide outlines red flags so you, too, can attempt to identify such scam or fraudulent postings. Our position: Never apply for a suspicious job. Questions? Contact career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) .

LSU students can use the computer labs located in rooms 141 and 241 of LSU Library. Students should log in using their myLSU credentials. Please contact LSU ITS with any questions regarding computer labs. Public/guest visitors can use the public access computers that are located near the print station in room 241. The primary function of LSU Libraries is academic research. For that reason, the public computers are provided for the public to do research, access the library databases, and search our online catalog. Special notes regarding public access computers:
- Printing is not available.
- Computers do not support non-browser-based applications such as word processors, video conferencing software, etc.
- Downloads are prohibited; therefore, guests are unable to save or upload files via email service providers, USB drives, external hard drives, etc.
- Patrons may be asked to limit session time if others are waiting.

Newly published journal articles often have no volume or issue number. Submit an interlibrary loan request (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill) ) and enter a "0" when asked for the volume and issue. Take care!
I am attempting to request a journal article though ILL. I cannot find the journal volume number or issue number. Can I still place a request? Custom Question Responses User Status Graduate
