EDUC 8310: Research in Education (Extended Campus - Catherine Leahy-Brine)

This guide is for students enrolled at Fitchburg State through the Catherine Leahy-Brine extended campus program.

Overview

Books and A/V items can be found in the library's online and physical collections. There are several ways you can search for these types of sources in our collections.

  • One of the easiest ways to look for these items is using Resource Search on the Library's website. It search all of the Library's databases and the traditional catalog at the same time, finding both print and online items that are available to you.
  • The library has several eBook and streaming media databases which you can search individually on their native platforms.
  • Some databases, such as ERIC, contain contain a variety of source types including full-text ebooks that you can access online.

Find a book or A/V item in a database that just provides an abstract or description about the item or listed on another item's Reference or Works Cited bibliography? Use the Library's Resource Search or traditional catalog to see if we have the item in one of our online or print collections. If we don't, use ILLiad to request it.

Using Resource Search on the Library's Website

From the Library's homepage (library.fitchburgstate.edu), enter your search terms in the Resource Search box under the ALL tab. (Ex. Shakespeare AND women)

The library's discovery system - ALL search

From the results page, you can use filters in the left-hand column such as Content Type to narrow down to books, videos, and so on. To see all of the available Content Types, click on the More... link to get the full list as a pop-up box and select the type(s) you want to see. For example to see just streaming audio and videos, in the pop-up box click on the green check marks next to Streaming Audio and Streaming Video then click on Apply at the top of the box. You now see only these items. Click on the Available Online link to access the streaming audio or video.
