The POWER Library, which I have been covering here for several months now,
has a database just for you. LISTA (Library, Information Science &
Technology Abstracts), an EBSCOhost-produced database, provides abstracts
and selected full text from 600 periodicals, plus books, research reports
and proceedings. Subjects covered include librarianship, classification,
cataloging, bibliometrics, online information retrieval, information
management and more. Searches can be limited to peer-reviewed journals or
by document type, and cited references can be searched by author, source,
title, year, or keyword.
Now on to the section of the POWER Library headed "Find a Book." As
Chester County Library System patrons, your reading, viewing, or listening
choices are not limited to the holdings of Phoenixville Public Library or
any of the other System Libraries. Today, you'll learn about a terrific
POWER Library resource that you can use to request items located almost
anywhere in Pennsylvania - the Access Pennsylvania Database.
This is a statewide union catalog that contains the holdings of nearly
3,000 school, public, academic and special libraries in Pennsylvania. So
you'll not only find books through this catalog, but DVDs, audiobooks, CDs
and anything else a library might hold.
You can choose to search library holdings in the entire Commonwealth or by
county. You can search in all types of libraries, or separately in school,
public, academic, or special libraries. Search options reflect the
diversity of libraries included in the catalog. For example, there are
options to search by Library of Congress, MeSH (medical), or Sears subject
headings; and to search call numbers by Library of Congress, Dewey
Decimal, or NLM (National Library of Medicine). Title, author, and
author/title searches are available, but the most versatile search method
is the keywords search. Here you can search words and phrases in various
database fields; combine them with operators such as AND, OR, NOT, or
NEAR; limit by language, material type, publisher, or copyright date; and
sort results by date, alphabetically, or by relevance.
