LOST IN THE LIBRARY?
GET STARTED FAST
WITH THESE SIMPLE HINTS
SHAKE LIBRARY, VINCENNES UNIVERSITY
8/2011
ON CAMPUS ACCESS: Go to http://www.vinu.edu, click on the library icon, lower right.
OFF CAMPUS ACCESS (HOME, etc.): Log on to your MYVU account at http://myvu.vinu.edu or click on the Blackboard Library link.
Shake Library contains a wide array of fiction and nonfiction books, electronic books, music CDs, newspapers/ magazines/journals, electronic resources, online databases containing thousands of full-text searchable periodicals, updated networked computers, meeting rooms you can reserve, and Reference Librarians you can ask for help.
HOW TO FIND BOOKS:
Use WebCat, VU’s library catalog, to locate books, ebooks, DVDs, music CDs, and other items housed in Shake Library. To access WebCat, go to the VU Libraries Home Page (instructions above), click on Find Books, then VU WebCat. Use the search boxes titled Basic (try Keyword Searching) or Advanced (for more search options) to look for books or other items.
HOW TO FIND PUBLISHED MAGAZINE & PERIODICAL ARTICLES:
More than 30,000 periodicals (magazines, newspapers, journals, etc.) are available from the electronic resources available in VU’s Virtual Library. A good way to get started is to first access the VU Libraries Home Pages (instructions above), click on Find Articles, then select an electronic resource such as EBSCOhost’s Academic Search Premier (a variety of college level periodicals), Proquest (huge Social Sciences and Technical journals database) or Opposing Viewpoints (numerous articles on newsworthy topics, great for writing assignments). Most resources have easy help information.

National Library Week 2011
Today, April 10, 2011, marks the beginning of National Library week. This is a week of awareness created to promote libraries around the country, and to recognize the contributions made by library staff and Friends organizations. The celebration began in 1958, and is annually sponsored by the American Library Association.
We, at Shake Library, are pleased to bring you five limited edition resources with which to celebrate. We invite you to checkout our web page and take a look. Explore global issues in context or a transnational archive devoted to the study of Slavery. Gain access to global references on the environment, energy, and natural resources or try your hand at Powerspeak Languages.
We would love to include your thoughts in our upcoming newsletter. Tell us why you love the library!
