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

Women's Studies International - has Article Linker

Philosopher's Index - has Article Linker (only 1 user at a time)

JSTOR/ Project Muse - full text

Google Scholar - generally, not as up to date, nor as comprehensive, as the above databases; does not have Article Linker

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.  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.


Still Unsure...?

There are lots of ways to get help.  First, try the Reference Desk - you can come in, call us at 581-1673, or use the Ask-a-Librarian chat or email service.
