If you have been having trouble getting to our databases from off campus since the power outage on Sunday, there’s a good reason. We’re working at correcting the underpinnings. In the meantime, if you are are on campus and are going directly from the library page to databases on the list of Electronic Resources, or to Credo Reference or RefWorks, they should be available.

Has your professor mentioned a topic you don’t know enough about? Do you need some background information before you start the deeper searching on your research topic? Our new Credo Reference can search 300 reference sources simultaneously, including encyclopedias, biographies, quotation sources and more. This is great place to explore context and find keywords you might use as you’re doing more searching.

Credo Reference offers many ways to limit your searches including by subject, media, category of resource, reference title, person, and date. You’ll find video and audio clips as well as images. There are convenient links to Cole Library Catalog, JSTOR, and our list of electronic resources for ease in transitioning to scholarly sources. Check out the Gadgets function where you can easily determine that 12 grams = .4233 ounces = .012 kilograms. Citations can be saved to RefWorks. You can also bookmark and share to Facebook or other social networking sites.
