Library Catalog: Find materials that are in the physical library.; Primarily good for finding books.; Books are usually about broader topics than articles, so you may need to broaden your search terms (ex- instead of "texting" perhaps search for "cell phone use").; Books are not going to be as up-to-date as articles because they take longer to publish.; See which library the book is located in, and what section.; Be sure to write down the book's call number!
eBook Collection (EBSCO): Search the full-text (every word on every page) of over 120,000 books - completely electronic; E-Book Hint:: On the search page, check the box "Also search within the full text of the articles" to search within the text of the book to get more results.; Note you can only print 10 pages at a time - only print out the important pages; For citation information: click on "Detailed Record" in the left sidebar when viewing an e-book. You will need this information later on!
