UoM Libraries Resources UoM Catalogs can be used free on the web by any user. Commercial E-book access is limited to UoM affiliated users. Access to U.S. Government electronic resources is free to all. Catalog QuickSearch (http://catalogquicksearch.memphis.edu/iii/encore/home?lang=eng) Catalog QuickSearch is a Web 2.0 interface for finding material owned by the UoM Libraries. Keyword searching works best. Use facets and tags to narrow a search. Tags can also be used to expand a search. Log in to your My Library account (http://bibliotech.memphis.edu/patroninfo~S4) to add community tags which become search terms available to any user. Community tags are only available in Catalog QuickSearch. To see results using existing community tags, search: newbery winner, memphis reads, gekiga Catalog Classic (http://bibliotech.memphis.edu/) Use Classic when you want specific results. As a more traditional catalog, keyword searching is an option, but Author, Title, Subject, Numeric (ISBN, for example) are also available. Each item record includes many catalog tools, such as: a "Cite this" link with citations to the work formatted in APA, MLA, Harvard, Turabian, and Chicago; a option to search WorldCat for other editions information about the author export to RefWorks; export in generic citation management (RIS) style a link to the copy in Google Books (if available) Both Catalogs can include (when available) dust jackets, tables of contents, and short reviews--primarily for newer materialOther library resources may require authentication for off-campus access. Licenses resources are only available to UoM affiliated users. Journal Titles (http://bibliotech.memphis.edu/search/s) Searchable masterlist of all journals in the Libraries' collection.

Search by name, browse the alphabetic list, or generate subject-specific lists (with descriptions). Each subject-specific list can be bookmarked or embedded in courseware.

Embedding licensed resources in courseware:ArticlesDatabases that make embedding articles easy include the OmniFile and EBSCOHost databases, such as Business Source Premier and CINAHL. These databases automatically add the ezproxy prefix to the permalink, or durable URL, which activates the authentication process for off-campus access. Example from the OmniFile: Photostreams to the People: The Commons on Flickr. Searcher v. 17 no. 8 (September 2009) p. 45-9 (http://ezproxy.memphis.edu/login?url=http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/jumpstart.jhtml?recid=0bc05f7a67b1790ee47db4c186ef7881c7a036a48b761d1ed732c20847045a389c0f54781b965ff2&fmt=H Example from CINAHL: Emerging Technologies Center: Nursing Education 2.0: Twitter and Tweets.

This would allow you to set up a search on a topic and then push the most recent results to your ecourseware. Here is a Wilson OmniFile search, (web 2.0) <in> Keyword, and the permanent link to it: http://ezproxy.memphis.edu/login?url=http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/jumpstart.jhtml?query=%3Cnear%3E%28web%2C2.0%29+%3Cin%3E+KW&prod=OMNIFT&fulltext=notchecked&eid=499997c31ced5141b7241c0595a19644 Licensed DatabasesIt is also possible to embed database records. Find the database using Database Search, open the record, and click on the "Persistent Link to this Record." This will generate a URL that can be pasted into your courseware as this example linking to JSTOR. Even though you are not linking directly to the database (students still have to click the "Connect to" link), using this method relieves you of having to worring about any future changes to the URL or about whether you have correctly included the ezproxy script. With the Database Search tool, changes need only be made once, and then they automatically populate into any records and subject lists generated by the search tool.
