Finals Are Almost Over! Sunday hours, and Merry Christmas!

FINALS!
You can do it! The library staff is cheering you on to academic success and to much needed rest over break. Persevere! You've learned so much this semester, push through to the end with excellence!

SUNDAY HOURS
Have you ever needed a quiet place to study on Sundays? Especially when it's 20 below and you don't own a car or know anyone who does? Or are you glad that there is no way to study on Sundays, meaning, the fact that the library is closed relieves you of your study duties on Sundays. If you have any comments or suggestions on this subject, please email us at library@moody.edu

MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Isaiah 9:6-7

Biblios of Final Projects and Papers; eBooks

Biblios of Final Projects and Papers

Have you put the finishing touches on your final projects and research papers? Did you include a works cited or bibliography? If so, the Crowell Library would love to know which resources you used, which you found most helpful, and which subject areas in our library need to be updated! This is one way you can use the work you've already done to improve our library! Feel free to email your list of resources to library@moody.edu.

eBooks

The best place to start searching for eBooks is our online catalog! The catalog acts as a one-stop search to eBooks found on a variety of web-based platforms.

On the Advanced Search page, type in the title or author name of the book for which you seek or alternatively the keyword or subject. Make sure the correct type of search is selected from the drop-down menu. Scroll down to the limits box and choose #13, Digital Library. By setting the limit to the Digital Library, you will eliminate all other types of materials thereby streamlining your search (that means fewer results to sort through!). When the results appear, scroll through to the one that is most relevant to your needs. You can either click on the title to view the full record of the book, which has the link to the resource within it, or you can click the link to the book itself. If you are off campus, you will then have to log in using your MyMoody username and password. Next, you will be directed to the page providing citation information as well as to the full text of the book online.
