Hello and Welcome!
We're glad you're here! Andrea Anderson, Cathy Cranston, and Rita Soenksen are happy to help you get started this morning! Please feel welcome to ask us questions as we go.
We understand that you're working on an essay assignment which involves selecting a prompt from the list provided by your teacher. You need at least two secondary sources which we will focus on finding today!
To get started, we're going to use the university's library catalog, InfoHawk+ , to find resources - just like you would use Destiny Discover to search your school library. Not every single thing in our collection is cataloged in InfoHawk+ but it is a great place to start!
General Research Tips
- Generate a list of your search terms and any synonyms .
- Search for each term in InfoHawk+ and our databases . Look at the subjects that are listed with interesting resources.
- If searching for a phrase, insert quotation marks around the phrase.
- If you find a resource that looks interesting, look at the Subjects listed for that item. It may give you terms you can add to your search! You can click on them to find things cataloged with that term.
- Change your results by using the words AND, OR, NOT in your search, like this: oppression AND Beloved AND Toni Morrison.
- Limit your search by a date range if you only want results from certain years.
- If you need a peer-reviewed , scholarly, or academic article (lots of words for the same idea!), select "Peer-reviewed journal" from the left side of InfoHawk+. (Some databases have a peer-reviewed filter as well!)
- Try your search terms in multiple databases .
- Look at the footnotes and bibliography of scholarly articles and dissertations - they can lead you to related sources!
- InfoHawk+ can generate a citation for resources. Click on the large quotation mark at the bottom of the record and copy it into a document. Always double check them for accuracy!
- The first sources that you find may not be the best. Keep looking!
How to Read an LC Call Number
When you locate a book in InfoHawk+, you'll need to take note of a few things in order to find it in the Library.
- this is a BOOK in print/paper form (as opposed to an "ebook" which would be located online)
- it is Available (which means it should be sitting on the shelf as opposed to already checked out by someone else)
- It is located in the Main Library (as opposed to any of our other campus libraries)
- it is in the "Stacks" which is another way to say it is on a bookshelf
- there is a call number that tells you the location in the library
- We use a different system than what you are used to in your high school library - but don't worry, we can help you find what you are looking for or you can ask anyone shelving books for help too!
How to locate a book by its call number
Image source: Howard Community College
When you are looking for a print book in our libraries, always start with the beginning of the call number. Books are arranged alphabetically starting with this. For example, all PR call numbers are together, after PP and before PS, and all P’s come after all combinations of N and before all combinations of Q, like this:
P, PA, PB . . . PP, PR, PS . . . Q, QA, QB
When books have identical letter combinations, look to the number line next. Books are ordered using whole numbers on this part. For example:
PR1 PR206 PR1056 PR6037 PR6209
When the beginning combinations of letters and numbers are identical, next look at the part after the decimal point. Books are first ordered alphabetically and then arranged by decimal numbe r (not whole number.) The following call numbers are in correct order:
PR6037.A47 PR6037.A8 PR6037.A86 PR6037.E222
If there are more letters and numbers that follow, repeat the pattern of looking at the letters alphabetically, and the numbers as a decimal number.
LC Call Number Ranges
PS 3563.O8749... Morrison, Toni
PS 3563.O785... Morrison, Toni -- Criticism and interpretation

Jason Kelce Hilariously Called Out Travis Kelce For Not Wanting to Say Big Word on 'New Heights'
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had some difficulty pronouncing a certain word.
- Author: Kristen Wong
In this story:
Fans who had a hoot reading Travis Kelce’s old tweets will love this new episode of “New Heights.”
During Wednesday’s show, the Kansas City Chiefs star began to read from a script when he was interrupted by his brother, Jason.
“Wikipedia has a list of a....myriad of reasons, myriad of things that they have on there…” Travis started.
“Time out, I gotta bring this up,” Jason said. “He’s avoiding a word that’s on this rundown because he doesn’t know that word.”
“I used another good word,” Travis protested.
The word he avoided turned out to be “pseudonyms.”
“Silent p’s always get me,” Travis joked.
Intern Emma did Trav no favors tossing this word in the rundown 😂 pic.twitter.com/D1uxZcLBH2 — New Heights (@newheightshow) April 24, 2024
Among his offseason pursuits, the Kansas City Chiefs star is set to host the game show, “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity,” a spin-off of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” to be streamed on Prime Video.
A Taylor Swift lyric from her new song purportedly about boyfriend Travis Kelce has never applied more after this podcast episode: “You know how to ball/ I know Aristotle.” Just leave it at that.
