SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR DISTANCE LEARNERS

• About obtaining telephone, e-mail, or online help from a librarian

We know that finding information from a distance can be challenging.  Whenever you need help, feel free to contact a librarian.  The more specific your question, the more helpful we can be.  For instance, instead of "I need articles on multicultural education", let us know that you need articles on "racial identity and the Appalachian white community".  Here's how to contact us:
1. Telephone: 614-292-2818 (normal library business hours)
2. E-Mail:  http://library.osu.edu/sites/reference/questionpoint/askalibrarian.php (Mon.-Fri., 24 hours or less turnaround time)
3. Online chat

FINDING ADDITIONAL BOOKS, VIDEOS AND OTHER MATERIALS (not journal articles)

• OSCAR

If you live close enough to Columbus to come in person to OSU, you may want to use books, print journals and audiovisual materials in the OSU Libraries collections. OSCAR is OSU's online catalog of books, videos, compact discs, journal titles (but not individual journal articles), and more.  Access OSCAR/Felix.

To search OSCAR by topic, you will do either a SUBJECT search or WORD search.  SUBJECT searches require you to use official Library of Congress Subject Headings.  A few relevant subject headings include:
 




African-American children - education	minorities - education
Arab-Americans - education	multicultural education
Asian-American children - education	Muslims - United States
education, bilingual	race discrimination
educational equalization	racism
educational sociology	sex differences in education
effective teaching	Somali students
ethnic relations	Somalis
Hispanic-American children - education	textbook bias
Indians of North America - education	women-education
linguistic minorities

If your SUBJECT searches are unsuccessful, try WORD searches.  WORD searches allow you to type in any word or combination of words that you hope will appear in titles, tables of contents, series names, and subject headings.  Click on titles in the resulting list that look appropriate. Scroll down to the "Subject" area of each item's complete entry and note the official subject headings under which the item is classified.  Then, retry your SUBJECT searches using those subject headings.
Remember--if you don't find what you're looking for under a specific term, try broadening your term.  For instance, if you don't find enough under Somali students, try Somalis.  Once you have the book in hand, check the table of contents and index for information on your more specific topic.
Tips for WORD searches.
 

• OhioLINK

If the book you need is unavailable at OSU, or you simply want more information, check the OhioLINK catalog. You can place requests online for OhioLINK books, and they will be delivered within three working days to the OSU library of your choice.  Information about OhioLINK and distance learners.
