LAYOUT AND COPY COORDINATOR: Bill Kinyon PHOTOGRAPHY: Norman Martin Your Guide to Sources & Services Texas A&M University Fall 1987 Jtoiudifi / Welcome to Sterling C. Evans Library. As the major information resource for stu dents and faculty at Texas A&M, the Library has more than 1.6 million volumes avail able for your use. But we’re more than books. From films to federal documents, from maps to microcomputers, Evans Li brary offers a wide variety of materials to meet the demands of users in a changing society. Technology is changing the way people find and use information, making comput erized data retrieval a necessity in today’s library. At Evans Library, our users not only search printed sources and indexes, they also use the latest laser disk technology to retrieve information within seconds or search hundreds of online databases pro viding access to literally millions of sources. This array of materials, services, equip ment and policies may seem overwhelm ing. But learning to use the library is a skill, and like any skill, once you have a knowl edge of the basics and practice a bit, it can be mastered. Hopefully, this guide will serve as a first step in acquiring those skills. This brief introduction to Evans Li brary includes basics of library use, de scriptions of special services, library hours and the location and telephone numbers of the different departments. Tours, lectures and hundreds of other instructional hand outs are also available. Your success as a library user depends on your ability and perseverance to find just the information, you seek. We want you to be a success at jvans Library Advertising Supplement to The Battalion, Friday, Sept. 18,1987. 18,1987
