World Languages & Cultures Resources

Searching for Sources

You can search for OWU resources using the tools below. As always, contact us if you're not finding what you need.

For help finding good resources on World Languages & Cultures, here are a couple helpful hints for finding resources online.

  • You can get specific about the kind of sources you want.
    • In CONSORT, if you click on 'Modify Search' at the top of the screen, you can use the 'Other Material Type' to select 'e-books' and limit your results to just books you can access online.
    • In Summon, you can look on the side of the screen for 'Content Types' and click 'book/ebook' once, then scroll down to 'Subject Terms' and select 'electronic books' to limit your results to just books you can access online.

Summon

Summon is a library search tool that lets you search across the majority of the library's resources including books in CONSORT, full-text articles from academic databases, media, ebooks, and lots more from a single search box.
