There is a way to limit your search of the new library catalog by category without using a specific search term. On the top portion of the "Advanced Catalog Search" page, type "#0" ("#[zero]") in the "Keyword" box. In the bottom portion, select categories for limiting your search, such as language, item type, or location. This will allow you to see ALL items that fit certain parameters without searching for something specific. For example, you could search for all French DVDs, by typing "#0" in the first box, and limiting the language to French and the item type to Video or DVD. If you have questions, please ask at the Reference Desk! http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2008/09/limit_your_searches_by_format.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2008/09/limit_your_searches_by_format.html Library and Research Tips Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:27:54 -0500 E-Z Borrow. By using E-Z Borrow, you can quickly find and borrow books from many academic libraries in Pennsylvania. The service is available to Bucknell students, faculty and staff for books unavailable or not owned by our library. Because E-Z Borrow is a direct method, not mediated by staff, it is generally faster than going through traditional interlibrary loan. If you have any questions, please contact Interlibrary Loan at 570.577.3249]]> http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/10/need_a_book_thats_checked_out.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/10/need_a_book_thats_checked_out.html Library Services and Announcements Library and Research Tips Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:01:01 -0500 Students: Do you have library research that you need to do from off campus? This is just a reminder that you can access many of the library's research databases from off-campus. When you click on a database link from the Databases list or a Research By Subject page, you will be prompted to log in with your Bucknell username and e-mail password. Once you do that, you can use many of the databases like you can on campus! http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/10/students_you_can_do_library_re.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/10/students_you_can_do_library_re.html Library and Research Tips Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:29:42 -0500 JSTOR, the online version of the print titles. JSTOR, which many of you have used, offers users the ability to retrieve high-resolution, scanned images of journal issues and pages as they were printed. You can browse back issues in chronological order or do a search. Many researchers find the search feature extremely useful, since it searches the entire text of articles. You can access JSTOR content in many ways. Links to the individual JSTOR titles are available from the E-Journals page. Individual titles are also included in the online catalog. You can also use the link to JSTOR from the Database page on the ISR website. Your subject librarian or reference desk staff can help you with JSTOR if you have never used it. Once the periodicals are moved, we will shift the books classified in the P-PM range to the 2nd floor. If you have any questions, please contact your subject liaison, or the reference desk. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding as we undertake this much needed procedure.]]> http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/07/library_shifting_to_make_room.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/07/library_shifting_to_make_room.html Library Services and Announcements Library and Research Tips Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:45:00 -0500 Why does the Interlibrary Loan Department cancel your ILLiad request for a journal article when your own search for electronic access fails? It may be because the library owns the paper copy of the journal. This is especially frustrating if you've spent time following links, hoping to find an electronic full-text version of the article, but came to a dead end. To check the catalog, type the name of the journal into the search box, and click "periodical title." You will see the list of volumes owned by the library. http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/04/why_does_the_interlibrary_loan.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/04/why_does_the_interlibrary_loan.html Library Services and Announcements Library and Research Tips Tue, 17 Apr 2007 07:01:01 -0500 http://www.bucknell.edu/x32037.xml For frequently asked questions see the LibX website at http://www.libx.org/faq.html For further assistance contact the Reference/Information Desk at x71462 or refdesk@bucknell.edu.]]> http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/03/bucknell_libx_toolbar_extensio.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/03/bucknell_libx_toolbar_extensio.html Library and Research Tips Tue, 20 Mar 2007 11:36:01 -0500 http://isiknowledge.com The following information is taken from ISI's website: Journal Citation Reports is a comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data. JCR is published annually in two editions. JCR Science Edition contains data from over 5,900 journals in science and technology. JCR Social Sciences Edition contains data from over 1,700 journals in the social sciences. Journal Citation Reports can show you the: * Most frequently cited journals in a field * Highest impact journals in a field * Largest journals in a field Citation and article counts are important indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals. By tabulating and aggregating citation and article counts, JCR offers a unique perspective for journal evaluation and comparison. Please contact the library's reference desk with any questions about JCR.]]> http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/01/new_electronic_resource_journa.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2007/01/new_electronic_resource_journa.html Electronic Resources Library and Research Tips Thu, 04 Jan 2007 14:44:38 -0500 ioneill@bucknell.edu. ]]> http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2006/11/open_worldcat_and_google_books.html http://blogs.bucknell.edu/isr/2006/11/open_worldcat_and_google_books.html Library and Research Tips Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:17:11 -0500 http://www.bucknell.edu/script/isr/ResearchAppointment/.
