Welcome to Your LibGuide!

 

Hello students! I'm writing to you to put in a good word for books. While most of your resources will probably be scholarly journal articles, you can still find good, quality information from printed and online books. I understand that you are taking an online class and may not visit the Bucks Library often, but you can get books through your local public library. Check their online catalog to see what they can offer, and if you come up empty, ask a librarian about Interlibrary Loan. Libraries can borrow books for you if you know the title and author. Most libraries offer this service for little or no fee.

If you do visit the Bucks Library, you can search for books using the widget at the top of the left column. My suggestion for finding books about an author's work is to type the author's name and the word criticism. Always type the last name first. In other words, the search box will look like this: “O'Connor, Flannery AND criticism”.

Remember the Bucks librarians are happy to help you with your book searches and interlibrary loans. Contact information for me is in the right column of each LibGuide page, and the “Get Help” widget will follow you through the pages of this guide. During this quarantine, we'll be offering Curbside pick-up. Instructions for that are below.

Curbside Pick-up

Curbside Pickup Available

by Bucks Library

In addition to the many resources available to you online (like journal articles and e-books) physical library books and materials are available for curbside pickup. You will notice a new "curbside pickup" button in the library catalog.

To request curbside pickup of physical materials from the Newtown Campus, please select the "curbside pickup" button to be directed to the form. Please allow extra time as this process can take up to two weeks to complete from the time a request is made. *Curbside service is limited to current students, faculty, and staff.

For a short demonstration, see the video.

Below are some screenshots from the catalog showing the various places you will find links to the Curbside Pickup form.

If you need help deciding what materials you might need for your research project, online and/or physical, ask a librarian today.
