Scoped Searching
To search for books, videos, DVDs, CDs, and other library materials located at Randall Library, search the catalog, which is linked right from the library homepage (http://uncclc.coast.uncwil.edu/search%7Eb001o001c001i001).
Unscoped Searching
To search for items located at UNCP or FSU, "unscope" the catalog by selecting "UNC Coastal Library Consortium" from the dropdown menu below the search box (http://uncclc.coast.uncwil.edu/).
To request an item located at UNCP or FSU, click into the full record for the item. Then click the "Hold Item" button located at the top of the screen and log in with your name, university ID number, and library PIN (for help with your library PIN, please see: http://library.uncwil.edu/web/research/pin.html).

Database & Article Searching
In order to find scholarly journal or popular magazine articles, you need to search the online databases or consult print indexes; Randall Library's portal for subscription databases is linked off from the library homepage (http://library.uncw.edu/web/research/databases/index.html):
Most often, the full text of the articles you find will be available in the databases. If not, however, do a “Journal Title” search in the Library Catalog (http://uncclc.coast.uncwil.edu/search/j) on the name of the journal, magazine, or newspaper that the article you want comes from. The catalog will tell you if the library owns the issue you need.

Finding Articles Not Indexed in Online Databases
Most online databases offer a limited scope of dates covered, so finding articles and information pre-1970 requires a different research process. Suggestions for finding these articles include:
To find newspaper or popular magazine articles pre-1970, these guides will help:
- Newspaper Topic Guide (http://library.uncw.edu/web/research/topic/newspapers/index.html)
- Popular Periodicals Pre-1970s (http://library.uncw.edu/web/research/topic/periodicals.html)
Use paper indexes to find citations to articles according to the year of publication (see Liza for more help with this option):
- Music Index (http://uncclc.coast.uncwil.edu/record=b1065954)
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If Randall Library does not own a book you need, or does not subscribe to the journal or magazine that your citation leads you to, try using Interlibrary Loan (ILL). It's a free service to UNCW students, faculty, and staff, and exponentially increases the number of materials you have access to. Start your research early, to allow enough times for materials from other libraries to be mailed to Randall Library.
