How the library works• Due dates• Renewals• Fines: accruing, paying• Renewing materials

We have a great number of resources both in print and

electronically available• Catalogs• Databases [pay to play]• Course reserves

You have resources available beyond these walls

• Taggert• OhioLINK• Search Ohio• ILL• Google books and other

electronic book providers

It is essential for you to not just use Google for research

• This isn’t about punishment but because– Most faculty will tell you upfront

not to use it or Wikipedia or limit the number of times you can

– Most students do not know how to use Google effectively/efficiently

– Visible v. Invisible web– Most students when using a search

engine settle for “good enough” instead of the right stuff ~ SATISFICE

More important stuff you need to know

• Log-in, network computers• Drives• Printing• Copying• Scanning• Office supplies• Wireless accessibility

You need to know what they expect you to use

• Reference works– Oxford Reference + Oxford

Scholarship• Books

– Print and eBooks• Periodicals

– Popular, v Scholarly v Peer-Reviewed or Refereed

• Websites

Academic Library provides access to the resources you are expected (or it

is assumed) you are using

Research Ethics

• A citation is how you indicate where your information came from.

• There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the college level. They are:

• MLA (Modern Language Association)• APA (American Psychological Association)• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term

Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 )• Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do

a bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes. • Always confirm with each instructor the style required.• You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a

citation software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty and staff…

What is a citation?

Research Tools

• Catalogs – for locating books, maps, musical scores, govt. documents, etc.

• Databases – usually for locating periodical and newspaper articles, but may cover other materials as well

number every periodical is assigned so it’s great if you can

include that in your request. Be sure to only use the print

ISSN, not the on-line ISSN.
