 Hello. Welcome to the Western Libraries. My name is Jimmy Gates-Schindlerge, and I am a teaching and loading librarian at the library. So this video is intended to give you a kind of very quick overview of some of our services across our library system, available to you as a new faculty member. So the library offers a wide range of services to our faculty members, students and staff, and some of these services are online, so you can learn a lot about these services from our library website. So let me take you to our library's webpage, which is library.ww.edu, so I can show you some of the things I'm going to talk about today. So we suddenly want to make sure that you know how to use, find and access library materials. So I want to take a few brief moments here to kind of go over one search and talk about some of the basics to get you started. So one search is our library's catalog and our main discovery tool, and it can be accessed through our library's homepage. So you can use one search to locate books, journal articles, videos, DVDs, and so many different forms of materials the library has. And also one search searches across the physical collections of some other academic libraries in a Pacific Northwest. So the reason why this is helpful is if the library doesn't have the item you're looking for, you can always request it from one of our partner libraries in the Pacific Northwest directly to one search, without having to go to a different webpage. So that's one of the many advantages one search offers. Library offers two different kinds of interlibrary learning services, and both of them are embedded into one search. So we will talk about them in more details later in this video. I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time on one search today because there is a detailed one search orientation video that is linked to the slip guide. And you can learn more about one search from the orientation if you want. But I just want to show you how to do a simple search on one search. So basically you can search, you can enter your keywords and search phrases in this big search window here and hit the green go button. And you will get your search results on the next page. So let's say I'm looking for scholar resources, some scholar resources on the mental health of young adults. So I will enter my pre-prepared search term here, and then I'm going to hit the go button. And we should get our search results on this next page here. So here's our search results. And as you can see, we have some e-books, we have some journal articles, and we have also some print books. And so on. So mental health of young adults is obviously a well researched and kind of broad topic. So we have over 94,000 such results, which is a lot. Since one search searches across a lot of different places, you will likely get hundreds. So sometimes even thousands of search results you search under kind of very broad areas like education or sociology. Then it's likely you will get even millions of such results. So that's why you kind of need to be specific with one search and use the filters built within it to make sure you make your search more effective. And you will find these one search filters on the left hand side of your search results, which you can use to refine your search results in a variety of different ways. So for example, you can use these different, you can refine your search results by different aspects such as availability, format and subject and date and physical location and so on. Also, you can use Boolean operators in one search to connect your search results to create more effective search stream. So if you look at these search results and you see some of these links saying available, which means this item is accessible to you. If it's an online item, you can access the item right now. If it's a physical item, then one search will show you where exactly the item is located within the library like these ones. So that's really kind of brief overview of one search, but let us know if there is any questions about one search that we can help you with. So now I want to talk a little bit about our subscription databases and journals. So you can access the databases from our libraries webpage by clicking on this research tools dropdown menu and then a library databases link down here. Or you can access them through databases link down here as well. So let's click on the library databases link. And this is where all our databases sleeve. So from here you can search for databases in this window up here. If you know the name of the exact database you're looking for and also the list down this list down here provides all this databases in alphabetical order. Again, you will have to know the name of the exact database you're looking for. And in my opinion, one of the best ways to access databases is from this dropdown menu because it allows you to find databases by their subjects. If you are here for the first time and unsure where to go, this is usually a good place to get started. Now I want to show you how to access journals so you can go back to our research tools dropdown menu and we can just click on this journals link down here. Or you can access them directly to this journals link down here as well. So library subscribes to a lot of different journals and you can search for them in this window up here or over here by their subjects similar to the databases. Searching journals by subjects is usually the best way to explore them if you are just getting started. If there's any specific journal or database you would like to recommend the library to subscribe, you can send us your request and I will talk about how to do that later in this video. So now I would like to take you to a different parts of our library website to talk a little bit about how to use our interlibrary loan systems. So Iliad is one of our interlibrary loan systems and it allows all our students and faculty members and staff to borrow from other libraries free of charge if the library doesn't have the item you're requesting. Iliad works with a broad range of different libraries around the country and beyond so we do our best to borrow any item requested to Iliad. So you can access Iliad by clicking on this services drop down menu up here from our library webpage and then you can click on this borrowing from other libraries link down here. So you can log into Iliad using your universal Western credentials from our webpage here. If you are using it for the first time then you will be prompted to fill out a short form to create an account and once you have done so you don't need to do it again. So I'm going to use my Western account here to access Iliad. So once you log into Iliad you can see all these different sections here for different functionality. So if it's a physical item you're requesting usually takes two weeks to arrive and in addition to requesting physical items you can also use Iliad to request online items such as journal articles. And if that's the case it usually takes a few hours for the link to the item to be delivered to your email inbox. The request can be done from one search site and one search usually prompts you to request items to Iliad sometimes when it's possible. Another way you can use Iliad that I want to point out here is you can use it to send us your purchase request to Iliad. So let's say if you want a particular book you want us to consider purchasing for your request or for your research or for your course preparation. You can fill out this form right here and then send it to us and our collections stop at the library do their best to fill those requests as fast as they can. If you want to be notified to email when we receive the item at the library you can always leave your email address in the notes field and then we will send you an email once we have the item available. So if you need a specific journal or databases or that support your research or course you would like the library to consider subscribing to this resource. You can send us your request using this form right down here and then we will follow up on that with you. If you send us your request and the fourth quarter your request will be included in our subscription review process in the current year. So I want to talk a little bit about Summit. So Summit is a local interlibrary loan system that allows our students, staff and faculty to borrow from our partner libraries for delivery to Western free of charge. So our summit partners include academic libraries throughout Pacific Northwest. You can use Summit to borrow physical items like print books and music scores and DVDs and videos. Microphone materials like microfiche also can be borrowed through Summit. You can manage request and renew your Summit materials using your library account on one search. And Summit is fully integrated into one search so you don't have to open a different account to Summit. So this was a kind of quick overview of some of the library services and I will talk about workshop instructions in the next section.
