How to Find Books

Use Fogler Library's catalog, URSUS, to look for books.  There are other libraries in this catalog, as well; look for O or ORO to tell if a book is here.  If you want to order a book from another library, click on the Request button on the top of the page.  You will be asked for your name and barcode (on the back of your MaineCard).


Ways to Identify Journal Articles

Academic Search Premier

Sociological Abstracts

PsycINFO

Google Scholar - generally, not as up to date, nor as comprehensive, as the above databases

These databases are linked with Article Linker (click for a demo), which allows you to automatically check URSUS for electronic and/or print subscriptions. 

Interlibrary Loan - use for journal articles we do not have access to


Citing Sources

It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper.  In this class, you need to use the American Psychological Association style guide, which we have at the Help Desk in Fogler Library.


Still Unsure...?

There are lots of ways to get help.  First, try the Help Desk - you can come in, call us at 581-1673, or use the Ask-a-Librarian chat or email service. Nancy Lewis is the Sociology Librarian; you can send her an email on FirstClass (nancy.lewis@umit.maine.edu) or call her at 581-3613 to set up an appointment.

You can also refer to the Introduction to Library Research guide.
