Basic Instructions
Use the search box at the top of the homepage to search a key term (example: counseling). Or, click on the “Disciplines” tab at the top to browse for a topic relevant to your subject area (such as Health Sciences or History).
On the results page, use the filters on the left side of the screen to narrow the results by discipline, format, data, etc.
Choosing a title will take you to a video/audio player to review the material.
Material not available through Steely Library’s subscription should be filtered out, but you may occasionally find an item that only provides a “Sample.”
