We can help you learn to use library resources and services, become a better researcher and stay connected to your community.
Help using the Library
- Ask questions! Library staff are friendly and approachable and can help you with all aspects of using the library and finding materials for your research papers and course assignments. Use Ask a Librarian to call, send email, ask in person at any service desk, or connect online 24/7.
- Go on tours of the libraries to learn where helpful people, collections, specialized services, and study spaces are located (check your orientation schedule or ask in any library for tour schedules).
- Attend a free workshop to learn about the organization, services and resources in academic libraries. Introduction to Academic Libraries in the United States, Get Started with Library Research, and Essential Research Tools are highly recommended, and are usually scheduled at the beginning of the semester.
Help with research
- Use online guides to learn about the library research process and online and print sources for different classes, subject areas or skills. Library Research at Cornell: The Seven Steps is a good place to begin.
- Meet with a librarian who has expertise in your subject area for personal assistance when you need to find resources for a class assignment or research project.
- Cite the sources you use for your research correctly, and avoid plagiarism.
- Explore the vocabulary used in libraries:
- Find library language resources that may be helpful, such as Language Dictionaries Online. Ask a Librarian for help in finding audiovisual materials or resources written in, or about, specific languages.
Help staying connected with your community
- Keep up with the news from countries all around the world. Press Display provides access to papers from 100 countries in 60 languages.
- Contact other organizations, beyond the library:

Sherry人类学学院 刚来到康奈尔第一感觉是人多楼多学校很大
康奈尔很多的图书馆分布在校园的各个角落
学校大有大的好处
作为一个世界一流的研究性大学
图书馆不仅可以借书
还可以借笔记本电脑充电器和雨伞 甚至是摄影设备等东西
Yu, Yuizhou文理学院 图书馆的设施非常齐全
不仅是因为其收纳的书籍之多
更是因为通过学校的网站
就可以轻松地访问各类期刊电子书和杂志
John Fang文理学院 康奈尔大学作为常春藤名校之一
也与其它常春藤学校有密切的合作关系
我记得上学期的时候我在学校的网站上
没有搜到一本国际法的书
在学校网站上显示布朗大学有
就通过我们学校有个叫 “盟校资源共享” 的项目
从布朗大学借来了 大概也就一个星期就拿到了
还是十分方便的
Michael Li人类生态学院 其实在写论文的时候呢
经常会遇到一些文法上面跟文章架构上面的问题
在康奈尔有一个John Knight写作学院
是有专门的导师提供写作上面的服务
他们平时还有”随访咨询” 的服务
所以我在路过办公室的时候都可以直接拿着论文去找他们提供帮助
Vicar Wei 工程学院 康奈尔图书馆另一个非常方便的服务是”馆员咨询”
那么康奈尔图书馆员对不同学科都有非常深入的了解
他们中有一些甚至有相关学科的博士学位
所以我在写论文或者做调研的时候
有困难除了找导师和教授帮忙 有的时候还会去找图书馆员
