Just a quick reminder about the online library guides that we have for Criminal Justice. Let me know if you would like one created specifically for one of your courses. I am more than willing to work with you to make that happen!

Welcome to SPRING semester!

Welcome to a new semester!

Please let me know how the library can best serve your students, courses, and research. As always, book and library resources requests can be sent directly to me or through your department contact.

A few reminders as you prepare your syllabi:

Library instruction is available for your classes:
http://library.boisestate.edu/instruction/

Specialized online library resources guides:
http://guides.boisestate.edu/CriminalJustice
(contact me if you would like one developed for specific courses or subject areas)

Putting materials on Library Reserves:
http://library.boisestate.edu/circulation/reserves.shtm

There will be some changes in our electronic resources this semester as the State of Idaho has gone with another provider for statewide databases. We have access to Proquest databases now instead of Gale. As far as I can tell this WILL NOT impact any of the specialized Criminal Justice resources. Let me know if you have questions.

Have a great semester!
