How to Find Books, Magazine and Journal Articles, and Other Documents
To Find Books
- Go to the Bell Library Homepage, http://rattler.tamucc.edu/.
- Click on Find Books & More
- Search by Words (keywords), Author,
Title, etc.
Follow this link to a search guide for Bell Library’s online catalog, Portal.
Use the database, netLibrary, to find electronic books.
WorldCat, the largest online catalog in the world, contains information on
millions of resources owned by thousands of libraries throughout the world. It can help you locate materials owned by many Texas libraries. It can also help identify quality Internet/Web resources. Do this by limiting searches to Internet Resources in the Advanced Search mode
on WorldCat.
Dissertations and Theses, the database, provides online access to the full text of dissertations written throughout the country from 1997 to the present. One may also search this database to find citations or references to dissertations written from 1861 to the present.
To Find Journal and Magazine Articles
- Go to the Bell Library Homepage
- Click on Find Articles
- Find databases alphabetically by name by
clicking on Find Database and then on Browse
- Find databases by subject category by
clicking on Subject Search
If, at first, you do not find an article full text in a particular database, the
needed article may be online, full text in another database or in another
format, such as print. Check the Find Journals List to find out.
- Go to the Bell Library Homepage
- Click on Find Journals
When in the Find Journals List, type the journal title into the Find box.
This list is the key to the journals Bell Library owns or to which it has
access electronically.
If, after checking this list, you are still unable to find the needed journals,
use the Interlibrary Loan Service.
- Go to the Bell Library Homepage
- Click on Services
- Click on Interlibrary Loan
If you have not used this service before, be sure to follow the link for
First Time Users. The library will try to obtain a copy of the needed
article or document from another source. Note: If you live outside the
Corpus Christi metropolitan area and you need books or other printed
documents, Interlibrary Loan will mail these items to you first class at no cost
to you. You will then be asked to return the items to the library and assume
the return mail cost.
