 Hello Justice University Students!

I created a very short tutorial on how to log in to EBSCO Ebooks. The link is below. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. 

Thanks,

Using EBSCO E-Books

Hello Justice University students,

I wanted to take a few minutes to outline the process of logging into our EBSCO eBook library. I will be creating a video on the process soon, so this will be more or less a place holder until that is finished. 

From the Justice University website, click on "Academics," located among the choices near the top of the screen. At the bottom of this page you will find a link for "Library Resources." Once in the Library Resources page, if you scroll down just a bit, you will find a couple of paragraphs under the heading "Resource." At the end of the first paragraph, you will see the sentence “click here to log into EBSCO.” 

After clicking on that, you should now see the login screen for EBSCO. In the first field, “Search by name, city, or institutional email,” enter Justice College (not Justice University). In the username field enter justicecollege. This should bring up a field for the password. Enter “library!25” here. 

You should now see a screen giving you two choices: EBSCOhost Research Databases and Exploring Race in Society. Choose EBSCOhost Research Databases. This will take you to the main search screen. Here you can search by keywords, title, author, or subject. Select “full text” to ensure your results will bring up full books and not just abstracts. I will be offering future instructions on how to use the advanced features of EBSCO. In the meantime, here is a video from EBSCO. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions!

Welcome to My Blog

Hello everyone,

I have been a librarian for a long time, but I decided I need to acquire some new skills. In order to accomplish this I enrolled at Purdue University to purse a second masters degree--an MSEd in Learning Design and Technology. As a part of this program I intend to design library instructional materials for the use of Justice University students, staff and faculty. Given the nature of our library services at JU, I felt it would be best to create online and on-demand materials that can be accessed as needed, given that I am only on campus occasionally. As I progress through the program, I will share updates on this project here, along with other library-related information. 

Thanks for reading, and remember I am always available if you need help.
