How the library works• Due dates• Renewals• Fines: accruing, paying• Renewing materials
We have a great number of resources both in print and
electronically available• Catalogs• Databases [pay to play]• Course reserves
You have resources available beyond these walls
• Taggert• OhioLINK• Search Ohio• ILL• Google books and other
electronic book providers
It is essential for you to not just use Google for research
• This isn’t about punishment but because– Most faculty will tell you upfront
not to use it or Wikipedia or limit the number of times you can
– Most students do not know how to use Google effectively/efficiently
– Visible v. Invisible web– Most students when using a search
engine settle for “good enough” instead of the right stuff ~ SATISFICE
More important stuff you need to know
• Log-in, network computers• Drives• Printing• Copying• Scanning• Office supplies• Wireless accessibility
You need to know what they expect you to use
• Reference works– Oxford Reference + Oxford
Scholarship• Books
– Print and eBooks• Periodicals
– Popular, v Scholarly v Peer-Reviewed or Refereed
• Websites

is assumed) you are using

Research Ethics
• A citation is how you indicate where your information came from.
• There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the college level. They are:
• MLA (Modern Language Association)• APA (American Psychological Association)• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term
Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 )• Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do
a bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes. • Always confirm with each instructor the style required.• You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a
citation software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty and staff…
What is a citation?

• Catalogs – for locating books, maps, musical scores, govt. documents, etc.

source, so just fill in all the lines you can. ISSN is the unique
number every periodical is assigned so it’s great if you can
include that in your request. Be sure to only use the print
ISSN, not the on-line ISSN.
