Can I search all the library databases and catalog together, in one search?
Most of the databases and the library catalog can be searched together in a new library search engine called Search Central found on the Trexler Library website. Most useful when working with narrow topics where you need everything that's available. Several search features are missing from the original databases, like relevance, and language and peer review limiters.
How do I cite my sources?
For tips on citing print and electronic sources, visit Trexler Library's Citation Guides for Print and Electronic Resources. NOTE: Access from the Trexler Library website > Citation Guides.
