Library Online Tutorials

If you need to know how to find articles in Andruss Library, you may be interested in viewing an online tutorial now available on our Web page. Listed under Tutorials > How to find articles, the tutorial offers four scenarios to choose from:

1) Searching for a specific, known article: "I have a complete citation for an article I need to find" (10 minutes)
2) Searching for a topic: "I don't have any citations. I just need to find some articles" (8 minutes)
3) Searching for a specific article, but missing some information: "I know what journal I need, but I don't have a complete citation" (8 minutes)
4) Learning the basics:"What's a citation?" (5 minutes)

The tutorials (which do not have sound, for easy viewing in the Library) clearly demonstrate how to find and use library resources to locate journal articles.

As always, if you need additional help, stop by the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the Library, call us at 570-389-4204, or contact us online, either via Ask a BU Librarian (for email answers) or via Ask Here PA (for live, online reference help).
