The Constructing a Search worksheet is a useful tool for mapping concepts and potential searches prior to starting your search in a database. Download the PDF or Word version to get started.
SU Libraries' new Libraries Search Platform was launched on June 26 and replaces the Classic Catalog and Summon. Visit this page for detailed instructions and videos on the use of Libraries Search. Electronic resources will be activated in Libraries Search on an ongoing basis. For assistance in finding electronic resources, please contact the Libraries via the Get Help page, libref@syr.edu, or Brenna at bhelmstu@syr.edu.
These databases are good starting points for your course project and iSchool research in general. They may contain a mix of journal articles, conference proceedings, and other content.
Google Scholar will link to our full text online articles even off-campus if you set up your Syracuse University affiliation in Google Scholar Settings. Follow the steps below.
NOTE: Setting up Google Scholar to link to our library holdings must be done when you are off-campus.
For resources not in Syracuse University Libraries' collection, a request could be submitted via SU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request Form. SU Libraries will request the item on your behalf. Articles and book chapters are typically sent to your SU email within 1-2 business days.
