The library is a member of the I-Share network, a collection of over 80 academic libraries in Illinois. CUC students can borrow materials from these libraries for free through the catalog.

Boolean searching is built on a method of symbolic logic developed by George Boole, a 19th century English mathematician. Boolean searches allow you to combine words and phrases using the words AND, OR, NOT (known as Boolean operators) to limit, broaden, or define your search.
For example, if you type in “Hampton Road Peace Conference”, you receive few results. But if you type in "Hampton Roads" AND "conference" This allows your search results to only those documents containing the two keywords, instead of a whole phrase.

In EBSCO, a word in a search bar can be truncated (shortened) by using the asterisk (shift + 8 = *)
giving you far more search results!
For example:
If you open EBSCO and look only for articles using the word "Mexican", you will receive 151,859 results.
If you open EBSCO and look for only articles using the word "Mexic*", you will receive 504,353 results.
