SCU Reference Resources
Reference Desk
SCU offers a Telephone Reference Service (408-554-4658) for brief, informational requests. You may reach voice mail when staff are busy; priority is given to in-person assistance. Consequently, if you are on campus, it is a good idea to visit the reference desk in person located on the bottom floor of Orradre.
Reference hours vary from quarter to quarter; so, make sure to check library hours before making the trip.

Reference Books
The best reference books to start with are listed below along with their
call numbers. Remember, these are all reference books, so they
will all be found in the Reference Room. An added advantage of
using these print resources is the presence of a Reference Librarian.
He or she will be able to provide invaluable assistance with your country
information search.

Virtual Reference
Virtual reference resources are an excellent for finding country information. You may also wish to use SCU's Ask a Librarian service. This will allow you to e-mail your question to a reference librarian. Response time varies. Usually you will receive a response within one to two days, but it may take longer.
