Online Tutorial
Please read this!
The Library
offers an online tutorial called LUCI
which
stands for "Library User Computer
Instruction." The tutorial takes
approximately 1 hour to complete. If you are
taking this as an assignment for a class,
you must submit the answers to both the tutorial and the quiz in
one sitting in order to
get credit.

LUCI, you must have the following on
your computer:
- Broadband
connection - Must be high speed, like cable
or DSL. A dial-up modem will not work. You can
test your bandwidth if you are not
sure.
- Headphones or speakers
- Some parts of the tutorial require sound.
- Adobe Flash Player

by clicking here.

FOR NURSING STUDENTS: If you are a Nursing
student, an
in-depth tutorial for the CINAHL Plus database is available
for you. Please note that while most of the information in this
tutorial is correct, the information on how to access the CINAHL
Plus database is outdated. To do this, go to the Library's
homepage, hover your mouse over the Databases menu item on the
left side, and click on Database List. This will take you to an
alphabetical list of all of our databases. Scroll down and find
the link that says CINAHL Plus with Full Text. |
