Finding conference abstracts & proceedings
You may find references to "conference abstracts" or "meeting abstracts" in the professional literature. In this case, mental health professionals present research at conferences or professional meetings, and instead of publishing a journal article about their research they may publish a brief abstract summarizing their research in a publication called a 'proceedings.' Sometimes these conference proceedings may be available online for free and sometimes they are only available in print. The following links will help you obtain them.
- WorldCatSearch for the complete bibliographic information for conference proceedings and other hard-to-obtain items here first before submitting an interlibrary loan request.
- Google ScholarUse Google's search engine for "scholarly literature" to find subscribed sources on and off-campus. Go to Menu>Settings>Library Links to enable Bloomsburg University links to view subscribed resources. Look for "FullText@BloomU" links.
EZBorrow (BOOKS ONLY)
EZBorrow is a web gateway that allows simultaneous searching of academic library catalogs in Pennsylvania. You can directly request books from another library, thus greatly speeding up the time it takes to get the book (usually 3-4 days) as compared to 1-2 weeks for regular interlibrary loans
So, if you want to borrow a book from another library, ALWAYS try EZBorrow first. You will need to log in with your Husky ID and password or Lib # (bottom left corner of your ID card).
