This guide brings together resources and library tools and database discussed in this course. In this guide, you can find help on the following topics:
From the CMU Library Homepage you can search for materials across the library system including books, music, dissertations, and journal articles.
You can search by keywords, title, author or call number using the Advanced Search feature of the library catalog.
The results page will list CMU holdings and will be sorted by relevance by default. You can sort by date, author, or title using the drop-down menu to the left of the search results.
If the library doesn't have what you're looking for, consider Interlibrary Loan for access to non-CMU holdings.
The LibKey Nomad browser extension provides one-click access to the Libraries' full text resources as you find research on the web and in databases. It only takes a couple of minutes to install. Find information on how to install here.
