How helpful is this guide?

The Circulation Department has designed the Graduate Student Survival Guide with you in mind. It includes general circulation policies--including loan periods, renewal procedures, how to set up a library account, and more. Visit the Graduate Circulation Survival Guide for detailed information about finding and borrowing our materials.

BGSU Libraries has a rich array of books, journals, databases, electronic resources, and government documents that Political Science students will find useful in their research. This library guide will introduce you to collections and library resources. It also includes general information about the library and our many services.

The first thing that you want to do is sign up for several of our library services:

1. You can view your library account online via the Libraries web pages. You will need to enter your BGSU username and password (same as for email or MyBGSU). Questions or problems? Call 419-372-2051 (fastest service) or email the Circulation desk.

Important Information about Remote Access, My Library Account, and Local and OhioLINK Requesting:

As of Monday, 5/11/09, BGSU Students, Faculty, and Staff need only their BGSU username and password to log in for remote access to the research databases; OhioLINK and local requesting; and My Library Account. The BGSU username and password is the same one used for logging in to MyBGSU, campus email, and BGSU lab and library computers. Look for more information on the relevant log in screens.

 If you are starting directly at OhioLINK (at the EJC or from the OhioLINK database list, you may need to authenticate with your name and BGSU ID instead. All BGSU ID numbers now officially start with a zero. If you have an older ID number, replace the initial P with an initial zero to log in.

To check your ID number in MyBGSU, log in, navigate to "Update Personal Information" -----> "Demographic Information" and your ID number will show at the top of the page

Getting Help with your research

The Information Desk is open most hours that the library is open. Reference professionals are there to help you, but sometimes you need more time than you can get at the reference desk.

I'm always happy to meet with you if you have a research project or question. You can call or email me to schedule an appointment.
