Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources

Page 2: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Who are we?

• Necia Parker-Gibson– Librarian for some Fulbright and some

Bumpers depts.

• Lynaire Hartsell– Periodicals supervisor

Page 3: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

First and last:• If in doubt, ask!

• If you’re not sure, ask!

• Even if you’re sure, it may not hurt to ask!

Page 4: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

The catalog and the databases are key to finding resources

Page 5: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

The catalog and the databases

• The catalog shows our stuff– (with a few exceptions)

• The databases show what books, journals, reports and articles in publications exist in the world.

Page 6: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Be a big help to our readers!

• Learn to use the tools—• the better you are, the more you can help.

• You’ll help yourself, too.

Page 7: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

The Libraries’ catalog shows what’s in the campus libraries.

If you use Millennium software, it works with the supporting records ‘behind’ the face of the catalog, and with patron records and circ. records.

Page 8: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Search by author, title, keyword, subject, journal title, call number, ISBN, etc.

• Authors, composers and editors are searched last name first –

• Rowling, J. K., not J.K. Rowling– (How many people do you know with the

same first name? that’s why).

• Titles are in order, searched as a phrase• Journal titles are in order, word for word

Page 9: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Subject searches = LCSH*• United States History Civil War 1861-1865

• Not “American Civil War”

• They can change over time: mountain biking was All-terrain cycling; now it’s mountain biking, but road biking is cycling.

• *LCSH= Library of Congress Subject Headings

Page 10: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Search by title: enter it word by word--

• A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court– > Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

– Or just Connecticut Yankee-- • more distinctive? fewer words needed to find it• Initial articles (A, An, The, etc.) may be skipped

Page 11: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Use keyword searches:

• Keyword searches are broad.

• If in doubt, use a keyword search– Pulls from title, subject, author and note fields.

• You may need to experiment to find correct terms. – A keyword search for mules won’t necessarily

find burros or donkeys

Page 12: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

“Every-thing” has a call number

• Each item or set on the shelves has a call number

• Call numbers= an identifier/location code.

• They run horizontally in the record, but vertically line by line on the spine

Page 13: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

1601; and, is Shakespeare dead?

PS1322.S451996

Page 14: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Course Reserves

• In Mullins at the desk– Or in:

• Performing Arts and Media dept.• Chemistry and Biochemistry Library• Fine Arts Library• Physics Library • Law Library

– Books/other physical items are at the desks– Some online, esp. articles and some old tests.

Page 15: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Lists of materials on Reserve are linked via the catalog.

Search by professor’s name, class name, or class code and number, i.e., Rainwater, or Fundamentals of Chemistry or CHEM 1073– articles and old tests will often be electronic, books may not.

Page 16: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Login with a uark email name and password and the class password.

If you can’t find a reading on Reserves, it might be on

Blackboard.

Page 17: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

2 minute drill

• Check to see if a course you are taking has readings on Reserve

• Or, look up a course that does, by a professor’s name, or under the four letter class code– Bridges– HIST or CHEM or ENGL or ?

Page 18: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Finding journals and journal articles

• “Do we own a particular journal or magazine?”

–search by the title of the publication in the catalog

–Abbrev. titles may not work– depending–You may be able to go to electronic

content in the journal from that record in the catalog.

Page 19: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Note:

• You can’t search in the catalog for a specific article

• You CAN find out whether we have the periodical it’s in, and go from there.

• How to find a specific article is the largest single question people have, besides the location of the restrooms.

Page 20: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Search for journals or magazines by their titles--

• Starting in the catalog:– U.S. News and World Report– Journal of Applied Social Psychology

• Determine the journal or magazine from the citation:– Smith, Roger. “Democratic Mules Eating Hay.”

U.S. News and World Report, June 22, 2004.

2 minute drillGot a favorite journal or magazine?

• Take a moment and see if we have it—• If we don’t, who might?

Page 28: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Databases are a major way to find citations to articles.

• We have MANY databases!– librarians can help you select appropriate

ones.

• Ebscohost Academic Search Complete • ProQuest Direct

– Are interdisciplinary-- either will find some information on almost any topic.

Page 29: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

There are databases under “Find articles in journals and periodicals,” by subject, and by title. The most popular databases are under Top Ten.

Page 30: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Databases primarily index and may link to articles in periodicals.

• Periodicals are journals, magazines and newspapers

• Often, the content may be more reputable than what’s available via the Internet. Editors and/or reviewers examine the material before it is published.

• In any case, if you need an article, don’t pay for it online. Check the catalog, and if we don’t own it, use ILL.

Page 31: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

Subject-specific databases

• Such as PsycInfo• Inspec• International Index to Music Periodicals,

etc.• America: History and Life

• Will yield citations to more articles or reports specific to the topic or discipline

Page 32: Intro. to the Libraries’ Resources. Who are we? Necia Parker-Gibson –Librarian for some Fulbright and some Bumpers depts. Lynaire Hartsell –Periodicals

2 minute drill: do a database search

• Try something in your major

• Or, try something outside your major

• You never know who you might help.
