Making the Most of the Capitol Library Resources

Making the Most of the Capitol Library Resources Summer 2020

Purpose of this Presentation • Introduce the Virtual Library • Ensure that users know how to find access the Virtual Library • Provide practical examples of how to search for and find articles from several databases • Demonstrate filters to limit the search size to what you want to find • Introduce citation generators

Finding the VL from the Portal Starting from the My. Capitol portal, Click on the Virtual Library link, or

Logging on to the VL Bookmark https: //franklin. captechu. edu: 2443/login

Frequent Questions • What is your account name? Your VL account name is the same as your Capitol Tech My. Capitol portal name, which is the same as the first part of your Capitol Tech/Office 365 email address. If jsmith@captechu. edu, is your Capitol Tech email address, then jsmith is your account name.

Frequent Questions • What is your password? VL authenticates users based on their Capitol Tech/Office 365 email account. If you can access your email, then you should have the correct password to access the virtual library. If you need help accessing your email, then contact the IT department at: ithelp@captechu. edu. Include enough information (like your student id#) so IT knows how to reach you.
