How does it work?
What if I want print?
• For students in Oregon and Washington –Summit– If you are near a summit school (
http://orbiscascade.org/map/) you may set up a “visiting summit borrowers account”
• For students outside those areas – Worldcat– Use worldcat to search for items, enter your zip
code to find out libraries near you with the item
Let’s see an example of Worldcat
Finding Articles
• Electronic resources by subject• What is the difference between scholarly and
popular journals?• How do I get the full article?
LET’S FIND SOME ARTICLES
Think of a topic while we open up a browser so you can follow along
What if I know the name of the journal?
Use e-journals in the quick search to see if we have it electronically.
What if full text is not available?
• Interlibrary loan– http://www.oit.edu/libraries/find/articles/borrow
/borrow-request– Articles, even those OIT owns in paper only, will be
sent to your OIT email• A library near you– You can use WorldCat to find out if a library near
you has a journal the same as we did for books
Where do I start?
• Find by subject: http://www.oit.edu/libraries/find/subject
• Electronic resources by subject: http://www.oit.edu/libraries/find/articles/subject
• Contact the librarian: http://www.oit.edu/libraries/distance/getting-help/contact-the-distance-education-liaison-librarian
Why can’t I just Google it?
• Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com– In scholar preferences, set up OIT as your library
for instant full text• Google Books: http://books.google.com– Many titles are only previews– Under “Get this book” click on “Find in a library”
Other Questions?• What is my logon?
– The library logon is the same as your blackboard and OIT email, first.last. The password is the same too.
• What if my subject doesn’t have a guide yet?– Let us know what you want a guide on, we will build it. Until then try the more
general subjects under electronic resources by subject: http://www.oit.edu/libraries/find/articles/subject
• Where do I get more info?– The library has lots of pages to help you on your research. Browse the
website under Help! To find out more. If you don’t see what you are looking for, contact Dawn.
