Welcome, Averett students! The Library Tutorial will introduce you to the Mary B. Blount Library and help you locate books, articles, facts, and statistics. You can return at anytime to refresh your skills. |
|
For the same reason you chose to attend an accredited university rather than educate yourself on the Internet, the sources you will read and cite for classes at Averett are written and reviewed by qualified scholars and teachers.
Faculty select the books acquired by the library to support Averett's liberal arts and professional curricula. The library's online databases include nearly 20,000 scholarly and professional journals, supplemented by government and research information on the Internet.
Quality information + Critical thinking and discourse =
Great ideas, good grades, and bright futures for Averett graduates!
