FYS - All Fun and Games - C. Long (Fall 2021)

Library guide for Colby Long's FYS All Fun and Games.

Finding Books Locally - CONSORT

Pictured below is the CONSORT search box, found on the library's main page. When you enter a search here it will look for things we and our library partners (Denison, Kenyon, and Ohio Wesleyan) have. If you just want things at Wooster, use the dropdown menu that says "All Libraries" in the image and select Wooster.

Finding Books Around the State

If we (or the three libraries we work closely with) don't have a book, check OhioLINK. All the colleges and universities work together to share our collections with each other. You can directly go to OhioLINK with the link under the CONSORT search box (pictured).

Often you'll be offered the chance to search OhioLINK if CONSORT doesn't have something. It will look something like this:

Finally, some books and materials are not in any academic library. That's ok, because there is also Search Ohio, which connects us to dozens of public libraries throughout the state. Try your search by clicking the Search Ohio logo if it's available:

Finding Ebooks

To find only ebooks, use the Advanced Search of CONSORT.

In this new page, go all the way to the bottom and in "Other Material Type" select EBOOK. Now your search will only share ebook results.

Selecting ebook from the other material type drop down options.
