Steps for Using the Library
Pierpont's library can be found on Blackboard.
Step 1: Go to Blackboard and choose the library database section you want to search or click on EBSCOhost for all of the databases (the arrow is pointing to the EBSCOhost choice).
Clicking on "Show All (6)" will open a long tab on the right side of the page that shows all six of the available databases. Click on the one that you want.
Step 2: This takes you to a page where you choose the database you want. the database you chose. If you clicked on EBSCOhost in Step 1, this is the page you will see next. Choose one or more of the databases to search by clicking the boxes to the left of the database, then click the yellow 'Continue' button at either the top or bottom.
Step 3: Put in keywords to search for (ex., communication strategies), which frequently provides a more specific list that you can choose from if you like. Hit the green 'Search' button to the right.
This takes you to a page with a list of available articles that are on that topic, which may be several pages long.
You can scroll down through the list and click on things that are interesting.
On the menu on the left, you can modify the list by putting in a date range, publishers, type of article, and more.
If you need help working with the online library, you can contact Support Services, your instructor, or Pierpont's tutoring services.
