Fresh CU Search Interface

Over the summer, you may have noticed that CU Search was updated and has a new look! The new library interface allows you to search digital and physical library resources simultaneously. To learn more about the new CU Search, visit our tutorial page that features all of our instructional videos. It's linked below!

Courtney Has Arrived!

We are pleased to introduce a new library staff member, Courtney Hardin, who began working with us in July. Courtney is a CU alum and is currently a Master of Science in Library Science student at the University of Kentucky. She supervises the students who work at the Bright-Redmon Commons Desk and works on digitization projects for the library.

Montgomery Library Guides

 

SUBJECT GUIDES

Montgomery Library guides, created by librarians with your discipline in mind, introduce your students to the resources they need for assignments. Rather than combing through our resources and seeking out additional online sources, your students can find hand-selected, discipline-specific resources all in one place. Guides feature databases, books, e-books, selected websites, and more. Take a look at a few of our newly created library guides below and see the complete list of subject guides here! If you know of additional resources we can add to the guide for your discipline, please contact the library.

New Library Subject Guides:   

   Applied Behavior Analysis

   Educational Administration

   Legal Studies                                                                                

   Public Health

   Special Education

Topic Guides:

  Copyright and Fair Use

   Creative Commons

 

COURSE GUIDES                                                                              

The perfect pairing...did you know that you can request a Course Guide to compliment library instruction? Course guides are constructed so your students can find all the resources they need for a course or assignment in one convenient place. Course guides can contain database links, article links, PDFs, images, web links, and much more. We will walk your students through the use of your course guide during their instruction session. You can request a library guide for your course independently of library instruction as well. Please give the Instruction Librarian a few weeks' notice to prepare your course guide.

Montgomery Library Digital Repository

 

Montgomery Library's Digital Repository (MLDR) is an online platform hosting academic materials created by CU staff, faculty, and students. This repository collects, preserves, and distributes the academic and scholarly material from the CU community throughout an individual's educational journey. Please take a look at the library guide below to learn how to submit works to the repository.

Recently Added E-Books

Take a quick look at some of the e-books recently added to our online collections. These titles, along with many more, can be found by using the CU Search box on the library webpage and selecting the e-books tab.

Here is a pro tip! E-book titles can come and go from database collections, but JSTOR content is perpetual. When you provide a link in your Moodle course shell to an e-book in JSTOR, you should always be able to access that book. Let us know if we can provide assistance with using library links in Moodle.
