Watch the video below for more information.
In the video below, we show you how to use the library catalog and databases to find books, e-books and articles for your class research.
Here is a link to the library catalog.
Here is a link to the library databases.
Please note: if you find an article in a database like Academic Search complete (as shown in the video above) that would be useful for your research and one of the links says that it is available via HTMLFull Text, as in the image below:
If you click to view the article using the HTML option, you will be able to translate the article into a variety of languages using the translate drop down at the top of the article page:
This can be very helpful if you find a useful article in a language you do not read. If you need help with this feature, or with any aspect of finding articles for your research, do not hesitate to contact a reference librarian.
Sometimes, the Centre Library does not have a book or article you need. In that case, you can try to get the book or article from another library using Interlibrary Loan. The videos below explain how ILL works and how to use it.
The librarians can help you with any questions you might have about academic honesty. The video below provides an overview of some basic concepts. For more information, you can also refer to the following links:
A final resource we would like you to be familiar with is the Mango Language database. Mango languages offers extra practice and reference for dozens of world languages including English.
