Mulford Library Web Page
Many professors will ask students to use “scholarly” sources, such as journal articles, books, case studies, reliable statistics, etc. Often, these sources are relatively easy to locate. Other times, depending on the topic, it can be a bit more complex. Librarians are professors with subject specialties (e.g. criminal justice or engineering) who can save you time or frustration with getting everything you’ll need to complete an assignment.

Many students do not recognize the value of a good insurance plan because the majority of students are young, healthy, and living on a very tight budget. However, unforeseen health care expenses can easily disrupt a student's college career. The University of Toledo has a mandatory health insurance policy that indicates that domestic students registered for six or more on campus hours and International students registered for one hour must maintain health insurance.
