Finding Sources in Our Library

Exercises #4 and #5 require you to use two of the library databases, New Testament Abstracts and the ATLA Religion Database, to locate sources relevant to your research project. The directions for those assignments (New Testament Workbook pp. 95-99 and 100-103) correspond to these videos, along with the sheet Getting Your Research Materials on p. 104.


Using Databases to Identify Research Sources

Electronic databases have replaced the old card catalogues that some of you many remember, and this makes the prospect of hunting for sources very convenient.  This video introduces the most comprehensive electronic database for religion, theology and ministry, the ATLA Religion Database.

 

5.52
Checking the Library for Electronic Journals

Sometimes our library has electronic access to journals, but the pdfs aren't included in the ATLA Religion Database. If you need a journal article, start your search with this video. If our library doesn't have a license to the e-copies of articles, you can use the following videos to order these sources.

 

3.35
Using OSCAR & LINK+ for Resource Retrieval

Once you know what books and journal articles you need, you'll want to get them.  Some articles appear as pdfs right in the database, but for those that don't, and for books and book chapters, our library catalogue ("OSCAR") and the LINK+ system connecting us to other California libraries will help you locate whatever you need. This video shows you how to use those systems.

 

4.25
Using InterLibrary Loan (ILLiad)

You might need a book that isn't in OSCAR or LINK+. And what do you do if you need a journal article and we don't have the journal or pdfs licensed in the database? Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) can get you these materials too. This video shows you how to use the system.

 

3.33
Ordering Library Materials without an Access Card

The tutorial to the right introduces how to order articles, books, book chapters, and other materials simply through your SCU login username and password, for our students at the satellite diocesan sites.
