A Love For Resources

&& Tips on Finding Them

Access to knowledge is one of the foundations of learning. As such, there may be times when you don't have the time or money to take a class, hire a tutor, or buy a book on a subject that you are interested in. For these reasons, it is important to have alternative sources of information readily available. Below are a few resources that anyone can access: Libraries are, for many, the first resource that we come into contact with. Maybe your parent took you to the local library as a child to get books for nighttime reading, or perhaps you went to the library with your class at school. Access to libraries doesn't end when you finish school however. Many University libraries are available to the public, especially community college libraries. Newspaper archives are another resource that doesn't get enough use. In this digital age, it is possible to access newpaper archives from the past century, viewing scans right on your computer screen. Many systems will even allow you to search the newspaper archives by keyword. Finally, academic journals are available. While some online journals such as JSTOR require a campus login or a monthly subscription, there are other free open access journals that do not require a fee.

I recommend taking advantage of any information made available to the everyday person to support gaining the knowledge you need to work, play, learn, and govern yourself in an elevated manner.
