Welcome to the Search Everything @SIUE video series.
This series will provide you with the skills
to be successful when navigating the library’s search feature.
This video will cover the basic functions
of Search Everything.
Beginning from the library’s homepage, locate the search bar in the center of the page.
Use this search bar to access materials owned by Lovejoy Library.
Begin by entering your keywords and pressing enter.
Your initial search will likely retrieve a
large number of results.
However, utilizing the facets located to the left of the webpage will allow you to refine your search.
Some additional parameters include: Online
Availability, Subject, and Resource Type.
You can also sort your results by criteria,
such as date newest.
The facets will lessen your results,
making it easier to locate relevant resources.
Once you have located a desired resource,
select the title to reveal more information about this source.
From the top, you will see the title of the
source, author, date, and availability.
Next, you will find additional options, which
will allow you to email, cite, and save the source.
You can also locate the availability of the
source and additional details that may be
useful in narrowing your search.
If you were to find this source useful, you
can pin sources to your account and access them later.
You will first have to sign in using your
e-ID and Password.
You can access your pinned resources in the
top right corner, next to your account information.
Select your name to display a drop down where
you can view your Library Card, Loans, Requests,
RefWorks, Favorites, Search History, and Display
Language.
Under the My Loans tab, you can view all items
you have checked out from the library and
items checked out through other libraries.
You can also renew items online, from your
account page.
