FYI 102: Disability Studies (Webb)

This guide is meant to serve students in Prof. Webb's FYI 102 class at Augustana College. Here you will find information about finding research articles, books, and other helpful resources.

This guide can help you:

• Start the research process
• Identify databases helpful to your research
• Techniques for finding subject specific sources such books, articles, etc.

If you feel like you need some additional help while working on assignments for your class, you can reach out to your FYI 102 librarian, María Emerson. You can communicate with her via email (mariaemerson@augustana.edu) or by setting up a research consultation appointment. Research consultation appointments are typically 30 minutes long, and take place in either her office or virtually. To reach out to María, click on the email button or the "Meet with María" button on the profile box on this screen. 

When conducting research, you will use our library search, OneSearch. This research guide will walk you through steps on how to best use OneSearch for your research purposes. Before we delve into how to locate the library's resources using OneSearch, it is recommended that you sign in.

Although it is not required that you sign in with OneSearch, it is recommended that you do for several reasons:

• Renew items on your account
• Create a list of your favorite items 
• Export citations
• View full search results (some databases only show results when you're signed in)
• Request items from I-Share

To sign in, you simply need to use your Augustana network ID and password. When you are on your computer, you can locate the sign in option in the upper right-hand corner. You may also click on the "Menu" option, and then click on "Library Card."
