If you are looking for basic examples of different organization charts or organization structures, take a look at the Encyclopedia of Management (2009) or Organization Charts (2000).  Both of these titles are available in the CGPS Library’s Reference Collection.

If you are researching a federal agency such as the FDA, FTC, EEOC, or HUD, take a look at the Federal Regulatory Directory.  The Federal Regulatory Directory provides you with a description of the history, organization,  legal responsibilities, and enforcement activities of each agency.  This title is available in the CGPS Library’s Reference Collection.

By clicking the “Follow Us”  badge in the lower left corner of the research guide, you can follow the CGPS Stafford Library on Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, and Shelfari.  The CGPS Stafford Library uses these popular sites to communicate library news, discuss research tips, display new books, and share popular websites.

10-K reports are available in the Lexis Nexis Academic and Mergent Online databases.  If you need assistance in using these resources, please contact the CGPS Library.

Evaluating articles that you have located in a database can be difficult to evaluate. Online articles do not always provide you with the same physical characteristics (advertisements, graphs, illustrations) that you would use to evaluate print articles.

Databases that search a variety of publications – such as magazines, scholarly journals, and newspapers – will often provide you with a tab, link, or a check box that allows you to limit your search results strictly to peer-reviewed/scholarly journal articles. Simply use these handy database features to limit your search results to the appropriate publications.

If you forget your Illiad password, please contact the UMW Libraries for assistance.  We can reset your password and help you gain access to the Illiad system.

Many databases will allow you to email articles directly from the databases to your personal email addresses.  If you choose to use this handy feature, be sure to check your email account to verify that these database emails have arrived in your email inboxes.  Network issues, web traffic, and spam filters will occassionally disrupt the delivery of these database emails.  So be sure you have received your database emails before exiting a database.

If you want to see if the UMW Libraries owns a journal, magazine, or newspaper, then search the Journal Finder. The Journal Finder will search the UMW Libraries online and print collections to see if your publication is available within the University of Mary Washington Libraries system.
