What is the most difficult part of a citation for an electronic resource?
The access statement.
Should it be a hyperlink, a permalink, or a DOI? Or should you leave it off entirely? Cite it Right! Find out how to cite electronic resources, how to find missing DOIs, and what to do if there is no DOI.
OneSearch has added a new research function. Now when you find a useful article, it will tell you which other sources are cited in the work and which sources cite the work.
The Thrift Library has six times as many eBooks as physical books.
You can find them in OneSearch.
With over 600,000 eBooks and 35,000 magazines and journals, you would think the Thrift Library has everything you need. But every year we borrow (and loan) over 500 items. If you need that special title, here is how to get it.
