The Library seeks to assist all students in finding good information sources.  This can be especially difficult for our international students.  To view EBSCOHost information resources in other languages other than English, visit EBSCO’s International Resources page. Click on the language of your choice and view the tutorials available in that language.  Handouts are also available that can be printed out in the library.  Please stop by the library for additional assistance.

The following videos are actually one tutorial showing how to use EBSCOHost.  My apologies for this tutorial being chopped up into so many parts.

Finding reliable information on the Internet does not have to be difficult, especially when you use the library’s trustworthy databases. Take a look at this video and check out how you can use Credo Reference.

The Drake Library Staff is pleased to announce that we have recently added the ATLA Religion Database with ATLA Serials to our EBSCOHost subscription.  This database provides citations and fulltext articles on many journals, as well as book reviews and essays.  ATLA has been created by the American Theological Librarians Association, and is one of the premier databases for indexed resources.   Furthermore, because it is in our EBSCOHost subscription, it will make the use of the Christian Periodicals Index, also available in EBSCO, easier and more productive.  We are very excited that we can offer this resource to our faculty and students and hope that it will open up new avenues for finding scholarly religion and theology research information.

Where is your favorite place to study?  Is it in the library?  The Drake Library has many comfortable places to study, both by oneself, or in a group.  We encourage all of our students to take advantage of our facilities.  As crunch time comes upon the campus, remember that the library can be a great place to get away from the distractions of college life, providing a place to focus on one’s studies.

God Bless You as you continue your academic endeavors.  May you finish the semester strong!
