Use the Lee College Library catalog to find books and e-books.
Try stringing together several search terms to narrow your search.
Examples:
Searching for a phrase?
Putting it in quotation marks tells the search that you want that exact phrase, not just any of the words contained within it.
Ex: "civil society" "Immanuel Kant" "evolutionary ethics"
Want to search for all forms of a word simultaneously?
Use the * as a wild card. Example:
Keep these tips in mind:
Gale PowerSearch allows you to search most of the library's resources simultaneously. Because you are looking through a huge number of resources all at one time (literally millions of articles!), your search will probably have to be very specific in order to find usable articles.
Access OneSearch either:
This is where your background research comes in. Unless your topic is very specific, you will most likely need to search using the mutiple terms, such as:
[Title of Movie] + [Director's name] --> The Farewell and Lulu Wang
[Topic] + [Time period, geographic location] --> Ethics and Ancient Greece
Alternatively, you can use the limiters on the OneSearch search page to narrow your search. Example:
[Your Topic] + [use E-books as a limiter] --> Hermeneutics + [now choose "ebooks" from the Source Type menu]
DO NOT FORGET TO NOTE THE INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED TO CITE YOUR SOURCES.
