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

Communication Abstracts

Communication & Mass Media Complete

Sociological Abstracts 

Women Studies International

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

Article Linker (click for a demo) allows you to automatically check URSUS for electronic and/or print subscriptions

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

Identifying Scholarly Journals vs Popular & Trade Magazines

Citing Sources

It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper.  Your instructor will let you know what specific format to use.  We have print guides at the Reference Desk, or you can use Quick Reference: Citation Guides.
