 Hello doctoral students. Welcome to CSUSB and to this fall library webinar on research and resources for the educational leadership program. My name is Lisa Bartle and I am the Librarian Liaison to the College of Education. I have taught each new cohort the skills they need to succeed in the program. Before we begin, I'd like you to take a moment and think about the questions you have. What do you want to know about the library, about research, what do you hope to learn from these videos? Take a moment and write down your questions. If I haven't answered those questions by the end of the series, I invite you to call me to email me or to make an appointment with me so we can get those questions answered. And it will give me feedback for what I need to cover in these sessions. As we go along, I recommend that you have this video open in one part of your screen but have other windows open to what we're doing. This will allow you to pause and practice while we go. You shouldn't just watch this video. You should do what I'm doing. If you're ready, let's begin at the Fall Library homepage. You can reach the Fall Library homepage from the main campus page by clicking on the library link. I want to show you how to find the library guide for educational leadership, which is the outline to these videos. On the library's homepage, click on the link for library guides. Scroll down to educational leadership. Notice there are tabs that will be different sections of this webinar. There is the main educational leadership page, which is the homepage of the library guide, finding resources, finding sources, excuse me, instruments, tests and surveys, and finally Zotero. Each of these sections will build on each other. I want to start with the finding sources tab and the box labeled books. A simple way to begin our research is to find books. Every library has a catalog. Just like the Sears catalog tells you what Sears has to sell you and the Victoria's Secret catalog tells you what Victoria's Secret has to sell you, each library's catalog tells you what the library has to loan you. To find out if the library has a book, click now on the Fall Library catalog link. You can search a library catalog using keywords. I'll try general keywords, such as educational leadership. On the results screen, we see two paper books with their location, call number, and status. Available means it is on the shelf. Write or take a picture of the call number, note the floor, and the status. You can go and pull that item and then go to the checkout desk in the Fall Library to borrow it. Make sure to have your Coyote One ID. Below the two paper books, the library owns two eBooks. I want to take a moment to show you how eBooks work. There are several platforms that deliver eBooks to the library. These are real, scholarly eBooks. These two, you see, are published by Springer and Rutledge, which are well-known publishers of scholarly books. It is only the delivery method, which is different. If we click the Get It Online link, we can see the platform that delivers the book. We have now left the Fall Library catalog. Not all eBooks use this platform, so the interface of some eBooks may look different. However, this is the most popular platform, so it makes a good example of what you will probably see. Notice the Read Online button. That is the button I recommend using. When you click the Read Online button, you can read or preview the entire book using the left menu. You can click on a specific chapter, or you can search the book for a term or a name. Here I'm searching for incidences of the word qualitative throughout the book. You see a list of times qualitative appears, and if you click on them, it will show you that incidence of the word. But what I really like about the Read Online button is that it leads to a download button. When I put my cursor on the top of it, you see it reads Chapter Download. The amount you can download varies by publisher. This book allows you to download 66 pages each day. These downloads can be saved and read offline and have no expiration date or DRM. These PDF downloads are yours to keep. You may print them or read them offline on a computer, tablet, or reader. I'd like to take a moment to pause and return to the library's home page. Remember we started by using the catalog. We entered the catalog using the library guide for educational leadership and clicking on the link for the catalog. You can also enter the library's catalog from the library's home page. To enter the catalog, make sure to click the Books and Media tab. You can see that this is the Fowl Library catalog. This time, I'd like to search for a specific title. How about a book I saw on Amazon called School Leadership That Works by Marzano? I type in the title and the author's last name. The author's name is not required. You don't even need all the words in the title. But the better information you give the catalog, the better information it can give back to you. You can see we have this title in both paper and as an e-book. So you can choose what option is better for you. Let's check another title. What Great Principles Do Differently by Whitaker. We do not have this title. So what can we do? We want the book, but the library doesn't have it. Click on the library home link at the top of the page. Time to learn something new. You know that a library has a catalog. But there are things called Union Catalogs, which unite a bunch of libraries' catalogs. On the library's homepage, there is a link called Book Resources. If you click that link, you will see a list of places to look up books. One of them is called the CSU Union Catalog. You can search the entire CSU with that catalog. We'll try to find what great principles do differently by Whitaker, just like we did in the Thou Library catalog. We see several entries. One is dated 2003. Another doesn't have a date, but is 18 things that matter most rather than 15 things that we see above. It's probably a later addition. There's even a live presentation as an audiobook. Let's click on this title and see more about it. It's the second edition, just as we thought. To summarize, we don't have this at the Thou Library, but another CSU does have it because it's appeared. So we're going to click the blue search for full text button. Now this is confusing. To be clear, we're not going to find the full text. We searched our catalog and we don't own the title. But clicking on the blue button gets us to this screen, which offers the request a copy link. And that's what we want. Let me show you why. This is the link to enter library loan or ILL. You use ILL when the Thou Library doesn't have the material you need, either a book, an article, an audiobook, or a movie. To enter your ILL account, click the request a copy link. To enter your interlibrary loan account, type in your Coyote ID number, enter my Coyote password. What I like about this is you can see the form is completely filled out for you, which saves you a good deal of copying and pasting. You can do this with a copy and paste, but I like that it fills it out. If I know there's a list of things we don't have at the Thou Library, because I've looked them up in the catalog, I simply go straight into the CSU Union catalog and look them all up and hit the blue button. The form fills out and I hit submit. The other way to get to interlibrary loan, if you find that perhaps confusing or difficult to remember, is to return to the library's home page and you can see that there's a link on the home page, request interlibrary loan. And again, you're at the same place, except this time the form will be empty and you will need to fill it in completely. You can do that by copying and pasting from Amazon or from the CSU Union catalog or from other catalogs you use. Let's take one last moment to look at those other catalogs and the benefits they can give you. Returning to the Thou Library home page and again clicking the link for book resources, I wanted to now cover the rest of these and why you might use them. You know the catalog. Here's another place you can search the catalog. You know the CSU Union catalog. It's all of the CSUs being searched together. Very useful for doing quick interlibrary loans. But if you need something bigger to know what information exists in the academic universe on a topic, searching Melville, which is the UC, University of California Union catalog, is a very good place to go. Another place might be Calcat, which is searching California libraries, both academic and public. It's not all academic, nor is it all public, but it's a very large chunk of them, so it's a good place to search. Finally, Worldcat. Again, it's not exactly the world, but it's very, very big, so it makes a nice option if you just need that broader canvas upon which to search. You can find your book in any of these catalogs, and then you can copy and paste that information into an interlibrary loan request. Last note on interlibrary loans. They are almost always free for you. They are unlimited, and you receive the material in about five to ten working days. That's because the material is sent ground mail, so we're all waiting on the U.S. Postal Service, as well as perhaps staffing at another library that has to pull it, package it, and then send it through the mail. So books take longer. Five to ten working days is the norm, though it can take slightly less sometimes, or it can take longer. However, sometimes the only place that has the material you want, those rare esoteric items, will not lend them because they're rare esoteric items. They can't risk them being lost or damaged or stolen. So interlibrary loan is a wonderful, excellent resource, and you can get almost anything in the world, but there is still an almost quality to it, and sometimes the only way to see the material you wish to see is to go to that library. Let's go back to the Fowl Library homepage and just verbally review what we've covered so far. We've covered the catalog and finding both paper and electronic books in the Fowl Library's collection. We've talked about other kinds of catalogs, larger catalogs, to find material that we don't have here at the Fowl Library, and we've covered interlibrary loan, how to request materials not at this library from other libraries, and we've gone into the Library Guides Service where there is an educational leadership page for your use, and so far we've covered finding resources, finding books.
