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
LexisNexis
Academic> News - full text
Google Scholar - generally, not as up to date, nor as comprehensive, as the above databases
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.
