Library
The library at DeVry Houston is technology and business-oriented along with humanities and social sciences resources to meet the needs of students anytime, anywhere.
Things to Know:
In order to ensure Academic Quality and solid research skills amongst students, Wikipedia and related sites which lack editorial and publishing controls cannot be cited, and will not be accepted, in research papers. The Wikipedia founder would agree with this decision. The faculty and library at the Houston campus suggest DeVry Library or DeVry online tools, a professor's website, or any other library or resource that subscribes to the commitment in its use of resources relying on quality and verifiable material. If you have any questions about the validity of a resource, contact your professor, the library, or review this interactive site for assessing the material you choose from any electronic or traditional resource.
APA is the standard style used at this campus. A number of resources are available for students to learn this method, including the ASC, the APA HUB tutorial, NoodleTools and the tutorial, your professor, along with a number of other resources available from this campus. Check your syllabus for more information.
METRO TRACK is available for Houston Metro students. Need ready reference information on a class assignment or worried about how to build study habits? This intuitive site looks like a train or bus schedule. Choose your college, choose your class, choose your resource assignment. Follow the track. It is that simple and both student and faculty feedback has been strong and upbeat. For a faster and smoother research experience, take Metro Track. The final reconstructed version will be available in November
