Find Books, eBooks, and More

Search Books, eBooks, and More in the OCCC Library Catalog

Use the OCCC Library Catalog to identify OCCC books, eBooks, and more with a focus on teaching and education. Here are some tips for searching in the OCCC Library Catalog: 

  • Keywords: Use keywords, not sentences like you may do in Google (example: wound care NOT how do you treat wounds)
  • Multiple Keywords: You may use multiple keywords when doing a search. Start with one and add others as needed to narrow your search (example: stroke and rehabilitation)
  • Publication Date: Be aware of the publication date. After your initial search, update the publication date to get rid of older titles in your results list.
  • Material Type: If you are looking for a specific material format, select from the "Material Type" list under "Limit Search Results" on the left.

Adding Email-A-Librarian to Your Moodle Course

Email-A-Librarian (EAL) is an option for students to submit a request for research assistance. The request comes to the Library's ticketing system and is claimed by a librarian. The response from the librarian will go to the student's email and any further discussion will occur between the student and the librarian who originally claimed the ticket. Use the instructions and image file below if you would like to insert the EAL form link directly into your Moodle course, particularly alongside assignments where they may need library assistance. 

Journals for Professional Development

The OCCC Library subscribes to a number of journals and databases to support the professional needs of our faculty and staff.
