Guide to finding resources at the Potter Library

October 3 & 6, 2008

1. I have my topic-now what (where do I start)?

Lets look at the Potter Library's home page

From here we can access:

• The online catalog to look for books, journal titles (not article titles), government documents (print and electronic), reserve materials, music, and movies owned by the Library.
• Databases to look for citations, abstracts, full-text articles, reviews, etc.
• Journal Finder to see if the Library has access to a particular magazine or journal title.
• Inter-Library Loan (ILL) in case we need to request a book or copy of an article from another library.

2.  I don't have my topic-now what? (YIKES! HELP! AAAGH!)

• Don't Panic!
• Exploring the Library's resources is always a good place to start!

Now for a closer look!
