Editor's Notes
- The Library Home Page: http://axe.pittstate.edu
- Main page http://axe.pittstate.edu
- Black Screen #1 – specific links and collections
- Black screen #2 – Services and Policies
- To access search tools, scroll down past the photo on the main page
- This is the core of your search experience: Top search box: will search the Summon discovery tool (books, journals, citations, databases); or the Encore “Catalog”; or individual journal titles (Journals A-Z) Followed by: the Databases list (Databases A-Z); the subject guides (LibGuides) Followed by: Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) requests (for material not belonging or licensed to Axe) Followed by: WorldCat
- The “mobile” interface: http://library.pittstate.edu/m , used for backups for the web pages and a slightly more streamlined set of links to remotely hosted sites.
- Looks better on a smartphone ;-)
- Summon – the main search tool
- Summon entry screen from a smart phone
- Summon main page, searching “beethoven” – facets which expand or limit your search on the left, center panel for the data that you’re searching, and right panel for a number of things. “Beethoven”, here retrieves 662,000 items
- Searching for “ludwig van beethoven” retrieves 53,000 hits
- “Ludwig van Beethoven” by USING QUOTES, retrieves 27,000 hits
- Um, so, USE QUOTES
- Closeup of several search facets : always use the word MORE, as only 5 display in any category. These then allow you to exclude or include various types of material, date ranges, subjects, etc.
- Another example, this time using Brandenburg concerto #6
- An “Encore” –like display showing the book material in the stacks
- And what it really looks like in Encore – note that both show real-time availability --
- A JSTOR article – full text
- A citation leading you to a print journal in the basement of Axe Library and/or other formats (microfilm)
- A citation from Summon for something that we do not have in print or electronic > using Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)
- ILLiad entry screens – use GUS login and password; first time entry, you will need to configure a small screen for contact info; subsequent entries, the article will populate straight through without too much intervention.
- Remember to “submit the request” !
- Library Guides – or Subject Guides – for Music
- Many to choose from, by discipline
- Individual databases can also be searched , although most of their content can be found in Summon searching where you can simultaneously search across multiple databases with one search.
- An example of a GALE database – Academic One File
- EBSCO – Academic Search Premier
- JSTOR – good for historical research
- IIMP – Main database for Music – but generally citation only. Many will have to be requested through Interlibrary Loan, so give yourself a few days.
- When using the “add results beyond library collection” – many times the material will *not* be directly available to you except by Interlibrary Loan.
- NAXOS… you guys live here, right? ;-)
- Use Sage for Music Educators Journal and Journal of Research in Music Education
- Other Reference resources
- Grove – we loosely refer to this as “Grove” or “Oxford Music” but it is in fact four separate main works. All in one interface, thankfully.
- Oxford Example for Amy Beach
- Reference Universe – additional reference citations, biographies, larger encyclopedias
- CREDO – more reference works and reference ebooks
- Where to find material: Most, on 2nd floor in the 780 “range” for books; bound journals, basement; additional material, however, can be found all over the library.
- An example of search by journal (periodical) title
- And the disciplines embedded in this
- Last but not least: We don’t have everything. Nor does KU, but they have a lot more.
- As does Wichita State
- Always great to have a field trip if you’re in the vicinity!
- Thank you very much, please contact if you need more information about our resources.
- And thanks to Thomas Maluck for his great visual image!
