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 Articles
Academic Search Premier - Article Linker
Social Services Abstracts - Article Linker
Google Scholar - generally, not as up to date, nor as comprehensive, as the above databases; does not always have Article Linker
Identifying Scholarly Journals - a how-to guide
Article Linker 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. For this class you need to use the American Psychological Association format. We have this print guide at the Reference Desk, or you can find examples online at Quick Reference: Citation Guides.
