Downloading eBooks

Hello DCP and MASL Students,

The library currently has over 1400 eBooks available to be downloaded. In addition, the library will be experimenting with a 2 month trial of Ebsco host’s eBook Academic Subscription Collection of over 160,000 titles, in mid-October.

The library has created a short tutorial to demonstrate how to download an eBook from Ebsco. Please be sure to create an Ebsco account and download the necessary reader for your particular device (desktop, tablet or Kindle). Unfortunately, if you are using the new Windows’ Surface tablet, there are currently some compatibility issues but we are looking for a work-around.

Once the eBook Academic Subscription Collection is available, please investigate the content and provide the library with feedback regarding your impressions.

Feel free to contact the Library if you need assistance.

Finding Periodicals in the Library Catalog

Hello,

You now have the ability to identify articles from the library's print periodicals, which may be relevant to a particular topic in your research. Should you find an article you would like to use simply contact the library by phone, email, IM or by clicking the Library – Information & Resource Request Form, And provide us with the name of the article, the periodical , the author, the issue and volume # when available, and page #s. We will copy the appropriate pages and pdf. a digital copy to you. The following print journals have been added to the catalog: 

•  Journal of Pentecostal Theology (completed)
• Leader to Leader (completed)
• Journal of Psychology & Theology (completed)
• Harvard Business Review (in-process)

 Here are a couple of tips for accessing the journals:

• Use the “Keyword” and “Subject” tabs, but avoid using the “Author” tab as there are too many authors within a periodical to be able to use this feature
• “Keyword” searches will return results which have the keyword located anywhere in the record (title, subject, article titles, etc.)
• “Subject” searches only return results which have your term in the subject field.
• To limit your search to periodicals only choose the “Mixed Material” type and then use the “Keyword” or “Subject” tabs.
• To see a list of the periodicals - Change the “Material Type” drop-down to “Mixed Material” and then click the “Series” tab or type the name of the particular periodical and click “Keyword”
• Some print periodicals are also available in one of our databases. Preview the record under the “Publishing Info” section and in the “Format” field to see if there are instructions for where to locate the article. (Click on images for a better view)
