Learning Objective #5
Using the Library Search tool to find books, articles and more.
Library Search
Now that you understand the different types of information and how to develop your keywords, it's time to get to researching. This is the fun part!
Library Search, is our comprehensive search tool. You can find the search box at the top of every page on the Library website. Use it to search book, ebook, streaming video, and online journal, magazine, and newspaper collections from a wide range of subject areas. Most of the information you find using Library Search is different than what you would find in Google - it is quality information made available and paid for by the Library, and much of it is not found elsewhere.
Page 1+ also offers save, print and cite tools, so that you can easily organize the research you find, and cite it in a format such as APA. Learn how to search Discover and use its referencing tools in the short video below.
Note: Access the Library both on and off-campus (from home or even on vacation!) online by logging in with your Humber Username (the same info used to access Blackboard/My Humber).
Follow along with the video and then try to use Library Search yourself! Make sure you limit your results by item type and use the APA citation options. For example, try finding a book first, and an academic, peer-reviewed article next.
