Getting used to 360 Link

You'll notice something new in your database results page this semester, and it looks like this:

This summer, we installed a new software that connects our abstract and citation databases (like Sociological Abstracts and America: History and Life) to our full-text content (in JSTOR, Project MUSE, and elsewhere). When you find a citation or abstract that looks interesting, simply click the image. 360 Link will then search across our databases and give you links to the full-text, wherever it resides. Pretty spiffy, no?

Like any piece of software, 360 Link isn't perfect. When you click that link, you're only searching our electronic collections, and if you're not careful, you can miss out on our ample print resources. Always make sure to check our print holdings via the library catalog. If you run into trouble or the results don't make sense, we hope you'll let us know. And if 360 Link tells you we don't have access to the full-text you need, submit an interlibrary loan request via our online form. If you need help navigating the ever more complex information universe, come ask the reference staff for help!
