Fox Hunt

Search the Library databases and the catalog

To limit a FoxHunt search to only items which can be accessed digitally, limit your results by selecting a digital content type from your initial search (such as eBooks or streaming videos) or by selecting "Items available online" in the limiters on on the left hand side of the full results page.

Many, but not all, of the ebooks in the James A. Cannavino Library can be accessed through Ebook Central.  Set up an  Ebook Central account to create bookshelves which allow you to save books, create folders, and even highlight passages and take notes.

To search for ebooks, visit Ebook Central directly, or limit a FoxHunt Search to include books and ebooks and limit to items with full text online.

Off-Campus Access to Library Databases

Use your Marist Computing Account to access Library databases from off-campus.  The Help Desk will provide support with any problems you have with the Marist Computing Account.  Call the Library with questions about searching and accessing resources within those databases.

Visit the Subject/Major guide for your area of study.

Subject/Major guides offer library databases and resources relevant to a particular topic or field.  Selecting a Subject Guide is an excellent way to begin your research.
