Looking for articles, books, ebooks, streaming
films, audiobooks, or some other type of information?
Pellissippi Libraries has a single search
box to find all of this content.
You can search by keyword, author, title,
and more.
On the library home page, type a keyword into
the grey OneSearch box.
Let’s search for identity theft.
At the top of the results, in the yellow band,
we will log in, so we can see all library
content and request items.
Your user ID and password are the same as
your D2L ones.
At the top of each result, the item is labeled.
So, in this example, the first three results
are book, reference entry, and article.
Let’s say I’m looking for articles for
my research paper.
To the left of the results, you can find the
limiters to focus the resource type to just
journal articles.
I want recent information, so I’ll focus
the creation date to the last 5 years.
To see the full-text article, click on full
text available and then on any of the links
to the databases.
Let’s say I’m looking for a book by Neil
Gaiman.
I would search Neil Gaiman.
I see lots of results about Neil Gaiman, so
I’ll scroll down to the author/creator limiter
and choose Gaiman, Neil.
Suppose I want to see books by this author;
I can use the limiters on the left to focus
on books.
I see the first result is an ebook.
You can recognize an ebook, because it has
a link that reads either online access or
full text available.
I can follow this link to access these resources
from the libraries’ ebook collections.
I can read this book online or download a
PDF.
Now suppose I’m looking for a physical copy
of the play MacBeth.
Through OneSearch, I can see it is available
at the Hardin Valley Library Stacks.
I would write down the call number: PR2823.
K58 1995 to find it on the shelf.
If I’m not on Hardin Valley, I can request
it to go to another campus by clicking on
the title and then the request link.
To renew items and see what you have checked
out, click on your name at the top right corner
and then on my library card to the left.
If you see guest instead of your name, click
on it to log in.
If you have any questions along the way, click
on the orange ask a librarian button on the
right side to chat with us.
