QUICK Library Research HELP. University Library provides assistance in many ways during library hours, especially during academic sessions:
Please note that the library's QUICK HELP service can't help you learn to use a Purdue resource unless that resource is also available at University Library.
For ADDITIONAL HELP, please contact resource/research specialist Randall Halverson. I'm happy to support your classwork or research via email or by appointment. Email is an effective medium to send questions: rhalver@purdue.edu or rahalver@iu.edu. For best results, please include your course and section number and background details, especially
details about your project topic, such as your personal or professional interest in the topic,
whether you want to focus your topic and explore possible research directions, or search for "big picture" overview sources or in-depth specialized sources, etc.,
search resources and strategies that you've already tried.
To request a RESERVATION to meet, please use the library's "Make an Appointment" page, selecting my name from the list of subject librarians. If my time options shown on the calendar don't work for you, you are welcome to send 2 or 3 days/times you could meet by email. I'll respond. :~
Early-on, explore topics and directions for research
Find concise, practical industry-specific trade journal articles using ProQuest Research Library. Find readable, especially credible professional society "magazine" articles giving overviews of computing topics and IT applied to many STEM topics by searching IEEE and limiting to magazine articles. Other resources such as news and business sources and ebook collections can provide context or additional detail on a topic. Browse and search individual ebook platforms in full-text.
Search additional, specialized sources to find journal articles and conference papers
Purdue University Indy students and staff are expected to be able to access Purdue University resources at any time from anywhere and set Google Scholar to show links to Purdue full-text by following instructions at page. THIS RESOURCE SITE FOR REMOTE ACCESS to Purdue e-resources has details, if for example, you don''t see "Full Text at Purdue" links in Google Scholar search results.
Purdue University Indy students and staff will be able to access and use almost all University Library electronic resources (campus databases and direct access full-text content), but only within University Library. Library resources are "IP-filtered". Access typically requires using a University Library site link.
Please complete the library session evaluation linked below (requires IU login).
Your participation is greatly appreciated and will help us improve our instruction!
