Searchpath 1.2 and Lots of Other Tutorials

The Library is proud to announce Searchpath 1.2, the new version of a six module tutorial that will teach you how to use both print and online resources effectively. Each module lasts from 15 to 45 minutes long, depending on the lesson.

In addition, we now have many new tutorials that will teach you how to log into databases from off campus, search the Library Catalog and EBSCOhost, effective tips on Emailing and printing articles from databases, and further tips on how you can become a savvy researcher on EBSCOhost. Please take a look at our tutorials, and then if you have any questions, as always, contact a librarian.

Stay tuned for more on more new services available just for you at the Library, and upcoming events!

Happy Searching!

What's Happened with the Library Catalog?!

Chabot Library is still using the same catalog but now adopting a more user friendly look. In the coming months, the Library Catalog will slowly transform so that you can find the books that you need more swiftly and easily.

For now, all the features of the catalog, how to look up books, find the call number, find subject headings, and request books from Las Positas are the same as before. To learn more take Module 3 of the Searchpath Tutorial. While the screen captures may look a bit different, you are for now, still doing the same things!
