From Graffiti: Library 101
Library 101Welcome new and returning students! Listed below are a few “Library 101” basics that you will need to know to make the best use of your time at the Libraries.
Blais
Our online catalog, Blais, is a searchable web based tool that acts much like typical search engines, but it is specific to materials owned by The Claremont Colleges.Databases
Ever heard the terms “scholarly research” or “peer reviewed?” These terms refer to materials used in research that have been reviewed by professionals for accuracy. Peer reviewed journals are indexed, usually by subject, and those indexes are accessible through searchable, online databases. These databases are grouped by subject.Reference Assistance
Each of our libraries are staffed by librarians and other information professionals ready to help you find answers to your questions. Don’t hesitate to drop by and visit! You can also contact librarians from the list of subject specialists and find someone knowledgeable in your area of study. Or try chatting with a librarian.Again, Welcome!
