The University Library provides several databases to help students. The passwords are available to any currently enrolled SCU student by contacting the Library Director.
EBSCOhost – Periodicals & Journals
Thousands of full-test & abstracted articles in a variety of fields. Abstracted articles provide information on the content and scope of an article and are therefore useful and may be cited in a research work. EbscoHost is not considered a web site or an Internet resource. It is merely being delivered via the Internet to subscribers to the database.
OCLC FIRSTsearch – WORLD CAT
OCLC Catalog of books and other materials in libraries worldwide. Useful for creating bibliographies, identifying correct and complete title or author information or locating libraries in the area that may have that all information book or resource.
SIRS KNOWLEDGE SOURCE
Lots of basic overview information on many common research paper topics. Look for the “Toolbox” at the top of the page for information on writing research papers and citing sources.
BUSINESS SOURCE
Expanded database made possible through partnership with the State Regents for Higher Education, Oklahoma Council of Academic Library Directors, and SCU.
NEWSPAPER SOURCE
Expanded database made possible through partnership with the State Regents, OCALD, and SCU.
A word about “Internet Resources”:
Internet resources are considered to be “websites” or journals/periodicals that exist no where else than on a website. So when an instructor says “no more than two internet sources” these do not include the databases; they are the same as the print versions of those titles and are only being delivered in an additional electronic format
