What's New in Manderino!

BOOKS ARE BACK!! Use Curbside Pickup for Library items!
Library items are available for curbside pickup! This includes: books, DVDS, and other items that are normally loanable. The process for requesting items involves a number of steps, so please refer to our Curbside Pickup Guide (PDF) for detailed instructions. This service starts August 17.
NEW FEATURE in OneSearch Database: Concept Map
OneSearch now includes what's called a "Concept Map" search option. If you search for a topic, then choose the Concept Map, you will see a visual presentation of related issues. This can help you narrow a broad topic to something manageable. For more information, see the EBSCO Concept Map - Quick Start Guide.
FACULTY: Create Database Links You Can Share
Faculty, as you work in the online environment, you may need to create web links to resources found in library databases. These links have to be formatted correctly for them to work. Use the following tool to create them.
OpenAthens Link Generator
If you want to share an online link to a result or a search set from one of Cal's subscription databases, you need to have a link that allows the user to authenticate (prove they have access to Cal's subscription). This tool enables you to create the appropriate link using "OpenAthens," our authentication system. To learn how, click on "more" below.

How to Create an Authenticated (Shareable) Link:
1. Enter California in the search box. That should be enough to see California University of Pennsylvania appear.
2. Paste in the URL that you wish to target (direct people to).
3. The Link Generator will provide the proper URL for you to share.
Note: EBSCO databases offer what is called a "Permalink." This link is already authenticated and does not need to be run through this tool.

Search Box Central

Search almost all of the library's databases in "One Search"

NOTE: Although the Library is closed, you can still request books and other items from our collection for Curbside Pickup. See our Guide to learn how.
