Welcome to the David and Lorraine Cheng Library
This guide should serve as a starting point for your research needs for your Introduction to Research course. Use the tabs at the top of the guide to locate different types of resources. If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me!
Also be sure to check out the Resources for Graduate Students page for additional information.
To find books and media that our library owns, use the Books & Media tab on our homepage, or search for everything with the Search All option.
Start with one or two keywords, adding quotation marks ("") around concepts with more than one word: for example, "middle school" or "autism spectrum disorder"... quotes are not needed for single words, such as education or science.
Narrow your results using the limits on the right side of the results page. You may see a lot of non-book items, so be sure to limit the Resource Type category to Books, if that's what you're looking for.
When you've found a book (or ebook!) that looks interesting, click the title to learn more about it, or (if it's Available), write down the location and call number and head to the shelves to get it!
If you see 'Available Online', the book or media is available online!
Search all will search everything in the library collection! You can use the facets/filters on the left side to limit your search to a specific type of resource, such as a peer reviewed article, and also use date ranges to reduce the number of results.
