Electronic Books Cornucopia
Fiction, non-fiction, great literature, topics such as
business, computer science, education, history, and
much more are accessible to you online. More than
20,000 electronic books are available through the
University Libraries’ Web site. Recent titles on most
subjects, as well as reference books, can now be
accessed through PILOT, Clarion University’s online catalog.
Major collections of electronic books may also be accessed through
NetLibrary and Safari Technology & Business Books found either under
the “Electronic Books and Web Resources” or “Find Articles” sections of the
library Web site. In addition to access through PILOT, reference works may
also be accessed directly through Credo Reference, Gale Virtual
Reference Library, and the Oxford Digital Reference Shelf in the “Find
Articles section”.

New Index: Reference Universe
Reference Universe is a cumulative electronic
index to library reference works. It provides
complete indexing of hundreds of reference titles
(some of which are online editions) from 1985 to the
present, and all disciplines are covered!
Unlike a library catalog, which provides only data
about reference works, Reference Universe
searches deeply into the complete indexes of more than 16,000 electronic
and print reference works.
Use Reference Universe to find just the right article(s) to get a grounding in
your research topic, build a bibliography, and establish a solid research
foundation.
This tool may be accessed on the library Website under “Find
Articles”…choose the “Database by Title” section.
Library Tip: Electronic Journals
Did you know that you have access to more than
20,000 magazines, journals, newspapers, and reports
through the Clarion University Libraries’ databases?
The full text of the articles in these publications is
available through dozens of electronic databases that
the library subscribes to. You may locate what you
need in several ways.
•
Begin by going to the library Web page at:
http://www.clarion.edu/library and clicking on the “Find Articles” drop
down menu.
o “Databases by Title” provides information on the major
databases the library subscribes to.
▪ Two databases that include thousands of academic
journals are Academic Search Complete and ProQuest
Direct.
o Most other databases have a theme or focus. For these, try
“Databases by Subject” for groupings in broad subject areas.
o If you know the title of the journal and have an article citation,
select the Electronic Serials List.
Eagle Gold Search enables you to simultaneously search multiple library
databases and the online catalog of holdings at the same time. Preselected
subject categories of relevant databases are available, or you may select
the databases of your choice.
Computer Tip: Making A Quick Exit
Looking to make a quick exit from an MS Office program? How about this!
Double click on the icon in the upper left corner of the program window. In
Office 2007, you're looking for the Office button.
Or:
Give the icon or Office button a quick double click. If you’ve made changes
to the file, the program will ask if you wish to save those changes, and you
are outta there!
This week’s tip is borrowed from the good folks at
