The pages below will help your students gain familiarity with The Ohio State University Libraries system, with “ready to share” resources that will teach your students how to utilize the library catalog, navigate databases, discover eBook collections and more all in short, easily embeddable text and video formats, as well as “how-to” resources aimed at students accessing and utilizing these resources for their endeavors in the coursework you assign.
Finding and Linking to E-books
On this page, you will learn how to find e-books and link to them in the catalog. Provided are examples aimed at instructors, showing how to best link to resources within a course.
Finding and Linking to Articles
On this page, you will learn how to find articles and link to them in your courses for ease of access for students.

Provided are examples aimed at instructors, showing how to best link to resources within a course. University Libraries provides access to many databases, and we have done our best to compile representative examples from the most commonly used databases or most challenging databases with which to work.
