Since so many students in the Champaign SPSC class come from
outlying areas, the best resource to use for searching library
catalogs online is ILLINET,
a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state. Go to
the site listed here, choose the institution you will be visiting,
or choose to search all the libraries at once. This way, you will
be able to identify local copies of the books and articles you
have found on TRANweb, NCJRS and the other catalogs and periodical
indexes we reviewed in class. You can also check to see which
libraries have the proprietary databases you will need, such as
ABI/Inform, Academic Universe, Wilson Full Text and others demonstrated
in class.
