Information ServicesDescription and Location
Information Services is the place to go for assistance with all types of research needs. Librarians, staff, or student assistants are on duty at the Information Service desk all hours in which the library is open to answer questions or help with research needs.
The Information Services area houses the reference collection (encyclopedias, dictionaries, directories, and more), the Popular Reading collection, Faculty Monograph collection and the atlas/map collection. Group study rooms, the Speaking Center, and approximately 75 public PCs (Internet connected and outfitted with Microsoft Office) can also be found in this area.
Borrowing/Circulation
Reference (InfoServ) materials are typically non-circulating. Exceptions are sometimes made for graduate students and faculty for short-term checkout periods. A current USM ID is required.
Selected Reference Resources by Subject
To find selected reference resources by subject, visit the Find Resources by Subject page, select a subject category from the drop-down menu, and then select Reference from the tabs.
E-mail Reference Services (Ask-a-Librarian & E-struction)
The Ask-A-Librarian service is an e-mail reference service designed to answer short, fact-based questions for USM students, faculty, staff, and alumni. For all others, we are happy to answer questions concerning The University of Southern Mississippi Libraries and its collections.
In addition to our e-mail reference, University Libraries offers an e-mail tutorial service called E-struction. These e-mail tutorials cover library basics such as "Using the Anna Library Catalog," "Finding Articles," and "Avoiding Plagiarism." Reference Consultations
Learning about the library and getting the materials you need for your research can be a daunting task, especially if you are unfamiliar with a library or its resources. USM librarians can help. Faculty, staff and students can request individual or small group time with a librarian using the Consultation Request form.
