Tips for using the library

Always start with the Library Catalog -- this is your gateway to all the information NOT available for free on the web!

Key words are always a great place to start. When you find one source that works, look at the "Subjects" below the listing and click on and follow those subject lines to more resources.

Looking for a certain type of media? Start with your key word. Then, look above the list. There will be a blue box that says "Limit This Search."

Click that, and you can specify any kind of media. like print maps and films.

Looking for slide photographs? Look under Library Departments, then see the Sound and Image Library page. There are directions on how to search the slide collection.

Not finding a book that seems to fit? Would you like a larger selection? Hit the green "Search Summit" button, which pops up after you search by keyword, title or author.

You will need an activated library account to borrow Summit gives you access to millions of books throughout the colleges and universities of Washington and Oregon.

You can also go directly to the Summit consortium catalog.

For today's work, here are some resources in Evergreen's library that you may find helpful.

Reference materials and maps

These materials provide overviews, maps, charts, definitions of terms, perspectives of change over time, and, often, primary documents. They are located on the main floor, or in the maps area on the third floor (upstairs one flight). Reference is always a good place to start with any project. You may find the key words you are looking for in order to search other publications.

"Main Stacks" Books -- Monographs, literature, anthologies, and other reference sources

Start with a keyword(s) search, like "citizenship" and "Peru." When you get a listing for a book that looks like it fits, click on the subject categories below the bibliographic citation. You may also want to use this subject category:

Citizenship
(the name of the country or ethnic group you're looking for) for instance: Aleut

When you find something that's helpful remember to scan the shelves around that volume. Many great sources don't get "key word" or "subject" search hits just because of the hazards of indexing.

 

Journals

Here, we're talking about paper or electronic subscriptions to academic and general publications. Even if they're "electronic" subscriptions, it doesn't mean you can get to them on the web.

You can key word search the indexed publications, both paper and electronic, through search engines found on the library's web page at:http://www.evergreen.edu/library/catalog/reference&journals.htm

The General/Interdisciplinary and Humanities Search engines will probably be the most useful.

Under the catalog's Subject search, enter the following:

Anthropology – Periodicals
Ethnology – Periodicals

 

Music -- Use the Catalog, with key words, then "limit this search" to Sound Recording
