ENG 160: Global Literature & Human Experience (Bushy)

Using the Carl B.'s WorldCat Discovery library catalog gives you access to many, many resources available in our library and other libraries all over the world. WorldCat Discovery covers periodical articles of many types, print books, eBooks, book chapters, theses, dissertations, microforms, manuscripts, archival material, videos, and more - so, it's a LOT.  Sometimes searching here can feel a bit overwhelming.

One way to make your searches more manageable is to first consider exactly what type/format of information you need to locate and then apply certain limits to your searches.  Since the Carl B. provides access to periodical articles (magazines, newspapers, and journals) via specific disciplinary and other indexes, consider using an Advanced Search and limiting the work you do in WorldCat Discovery to books only.  This allows you to find both print and electronic titles.

1. Use the Advanced Search.
2.  Scroll down the screen a little and check the "Hide duplicates" radio button.
3. Use the drop-down menu to limit your format to "Book."
4. Limit your "Held by Library" to Concordia College - Moorhead.

If you don't find what you need in the Carl B., it is always easy to expand your search to "Libraries Worldwide."  But starting your research in the Carl B. where you can immediately examine materials is much less frustrating scrolling through endless pages of things that may not be available.

Here are some good examples of books and book chapters that would make great resources for your work in this class!
