Online Libraries and UTA Library Resources
One of the very best aspects of the internet is the sheer amount of information
available online. Many sites contain full-text books and articles available
to the public; the UTA Library subscribes to many databases in every academic
and popular subject (available to UTA students and faculty only). If you need material or background
information for a research paper or project, try these resources:
- UTA Libraries Online: UTA's
libraries have two main categories of resources: print and electronic.
The library's electronic catalog PULSE
will give you call numbers for print resources, as well as links to
electronic sources. Electronic
resources can be browsed by type of material or by subject area;
browse around to see what's available. The library staff have also put
together helpful
guides on many topics related to research, documentation, and writing,
and they've even arranged some of them according to which class they
might help you with.
- The Internet Public Library
- The Library of Congress: Not just
books and articles -- pictures and sound, too.
- The Universal Library:
A site that aims to make all human knowledge available online.
- Bartleby.com Reference:
A collection of encyclopedias, almanacs, and other reference books on
topics ranging from anatomy to mythology.
- The
St. Martin's Handbook Online Writer's Almanac: Look at this page
for access to basic facts on a variety of subjects, links to the full
text of religious texts, and some reputable sites on the web containing
information in a variety of academic disciplines. There is no index
page, so find your subject on the navigation bar on the left. For one
of the best collections of annotated links to resources for writers
online (both help with writing and research resources), go to the St.
Martin's Handbook Links page.
