Santa Clara University Library and the AJCU offer a chat reference service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except for a few holidays).
Coverage of this service is shared by librarians at most of the AJCU institutions across the country. Your questions will be answered by SCU librarians, academic librarians in the AJCU consortium, or by a contractual librarian.
During your regular class time on both Wednesday, Oct 16 and Friday, Oct 18, your class will meet for a two-part research workshop in Rm. 203 on the 2nd floor of the Learning Commons.
Computers are provided but you are welcome to bring your own laptop if you like.
Use these resources as alternatives (or in addition) to Wikipedia to understand context and collect additional details on your topic.
Use these databases to find a book or article *about* your topic, a.k.a. "secondary work". Once you find a secondary work, take a look at the work's bibliography or works cited list. The list of the works that the author consulted may lead you to the titles of primary texts and works that you haven't discovered before. Search for those titles in OSCAR or LINK+ to find a copy. If you still can't find it, try requesting it through Interlibrary Loan.
