Whether you are new to online learning or have completed multiple online courses, it is important to be organized and to know how to access the resources you need. If you haven’t already done so, a best first step is familiarizing yourself with this helpful booklet: Online Learning at NHTI: A Guide for Students. While it is beneficial to read through this before the semester begins, be sure to save it for easy access if you need to refer to it during the semester.
The Library has everything you need to be a successful online learner and access the materials you need using your EasyLogin user name and password. Most of the Library’s resources are available to you digitally, 24/7 and can be found at the Library: Research and Resources page.
Most searches can start out using the Quick Search Box where you can search Articles, eBooks, and/or Publications. Be sure to make sure the Full-Text box and the Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) boxes are checked in order to ensure access to the items in the NHTI collection and only items that have been approved by respected experts in the field.
You may also search individual databases by scrolling down the page a bit and selecting the link.
From here you can search the General grouping to use specific databases such as Films on Demand, or if you need help with formatting your paper, either the OWL or Chicago Manual of Style.
Below the General section are narrower groupings by subject, and at the very bottom is a Get Help section with video tutorials, links to live chat or to request a research appointment.
Be sure to check out these other blog posts with more great tips for both online learners and accessing Library resources: Tips for Online Learners, Finding Full-Text, and Why Don’t My Links Work?
