BOOKS |
Books, videos, and
dvds can be found in the OSU-Tulsa Library Catalog by author, title, keyword, or subject
heading. Keyword searching allows you to AND terms together to produce a more
focused list of available books.
You
may want to check the Library
of Congress Subject Headings Reference

for a comprehensive list of terms to search in the Online Catalog.
Once
you have identified a book you want, note the location and entire call

We also have

the Catalog or by going to the Library Website and clicking on Books

A full-text database provides full-text access to periodical, journal, and magazine articles. In most case all you need to do is print out the article. From the Library Webpage, click on Journals and then click on General or a Broad Subject. Each database is designed so that you can usually search by keyword, subject, author, title or article, and/or title or the periodical. You also can limit by date as well as other parameters.
DATABASES
An index database provides a citation to the article, i.e. title of
article, author, journal title, volume and issue number, page number, and
date. You should check other databases for possible full-text coverage. You
may need to consult the Catalog or Journals by Title to determine if the journal is owned
by OSU-Tulsa Library in paper or microfiche.
