Research assignments may require students to utilize scholarly monographs. Books and eBooks are listed in HillSearch, the library's online catalog. The HillSearch link is located under Useful Resources on the Library's homepage. Demonstrating how to search HillSearch for print and electronic materials is often a necessary aspect of bibliographic instruction, whether in the classroom or in a one-on-one setting.
Searching in HillSearch is similar to searching in a database. Enter a query into the search bar, and press Enter. If the list of results is too numerous, limiters (like those found in databases) can be applied from the left-side navigation menu. The screenshot below highlights the Format limiter, which allows users to limit their results to print books, eBooks, DVDs, or online streaming media.
Records for print books and physical items will list their locations in the library. Electronic items, such as eBooks and streaming videos, can be accessed via a link that will take the user directly to the item. Once there, users can read the book or watch the video online.
If Stonehill does not own the book, book chapter, or article you need, you can order it through our Interlibrary Loan Department. Please visit the Interlibrary Loan page on the library website to order materials or sign up for an account. Need help with a request or your Interlibrary Loan account? Contact librarydeskgroup@stonehill.edu. Due to the possibility of mail delays, please order your items as soon as possible.
