THINGS ARE CHANGING AND
RAPIDLY …
WHAT A DIFFERENCE 8 YEARS
MAKES….
2005
2013
THIS IS TRUE FOR LIBRARIES AS
WELL …
THIS…
is now this…
HOW WE GET INFORMATION HAS
CHANGED, … IS CHANGING STILL…
LIBRARIES ARE ABOUT INFORMATION
AND NOT JUST BOOKS …
To find library resources
• You must go online to the library webpage.
How do you find books?
WALNET
Walnet is the University’s online card catalog – it contains information or links to
all of the Library’s holdings.
You can search for the
following information:
• Words or Phrase
(Keywords)
• Author
• Title
• Subject
• Series
• Periodical Title
• ISBN
Online Catalog
Where to find books: Collections
Reference (Reference reading room)
Reserves (Periodicals reading room)
E-Books (online)
(the above books are library-use only)
General circulating collection (in “the stacks”)
African-American Studies (also in the stacks)
How do you find articles and journals?
Off-Campus Access to Databases
• Sign in with your VUU email username and
VUU email password.
ATLA Religion Database with ATLA
Serials – most used by STVU
To get better results use “Limit your results”
3 tips for searching databases
• For most databases, to keep phrases together
use double quotation marks.
Example: “database searching”
• Use the keywords of your research question,
not the whole question.
• Use “limiters” or search options to keep your
results to a manageable number.
Online Research Guides
• Called LibGuides
• Found on the library webpage under
“Research”
• Anyone can use them- even off campus, no
log-in needed
• lots of information on materials, links to good
websites, etc.
