Overview
Start preparing yourself for fall quarter by knowing your basic research resources and installing any tools that give you access.
Activity
Husky OnNet
Set yourself up for continued off-campus access by installing Husky OnNet. Detailed configuration steps are available on the Libraries Husky OnNet support page.
Interlibrary Loan
Set up your Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Account to borrow materials that UW Libraries doesn’t own. If it’s an article, ILL will scan it for you! To begin, login to your ILL account and learn how to request materials.
Research Guides
Find a Research Guide in your subject area using the Seattle, Bothell, Tacoma, or Health Sciences guide lists. Using the guides, consider the following:
- Who is your subject librarian?
- What subject-specific databases, journals, and resources does your guide point to?
- Did you already know about any of these resources? What’s new?
Google Scholar
Configure Google Scholar to show your access to resources via UW Libraries. Check out the UW Libraries page on configuring Google Scholar with UW Libraries.
Reflection
- What makes each of the tools discussed on this page essential for research? Do you agree with this assessment?
