1 Help finding information on court reporters. I'm writing an informative speech.
Hi, Elizabeth: Try using the TCC database: _Vocational and Career Collection_. Also, the U.S. government publication _Occupational Outlook Handbook_ which is available online for free, has great information about careers. Here's the link:
http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Here's the link to one of the TCC e-books on court reporting: http://library.tccd.edu/vwebv/holdingsInfo?searchId=513&recCount=25&recPointer=0&bibId=303147
Please let us know if you need further assistance, but be aware that the TCC libraries and the Ask-Librarian service will be closed for spring break, Mar.14 through Mar. 21.

2 I've done well with periodicals, but appear to have hit a wall on reference books - subject matter is universal themes in major world religions (like trinities, an afterlife, heaven/hell, reincarnation, creation myths, etc) I guess I'm not using the Find Books search engine correctly
Hi, Deb: There is a lot of information out there on your topic, but it will take some digging to find it. Essentially you will need to look for each topic for each religion separately, then make your own comparisons about the themes. Try using e-books like encyclopedias of religion or individual books about each religion or books about death, creation myths, etc. There is are terms such as "comparative world religions" and "philosophy of religion" that you might try. TCC has several e-books you may search through the library's catalog at the webpage. You can limit to "electronic books" from the catalog search. Remember that the TCC libraries will be closed for spring break from 3/14 through 3/21, but the catalog and databases should be available during this time.
Please let us know if you need further assistance, but the "Ask-Librarian" service will not be available during spring break.

3 How do you show a title of a painting in a reseach paper?
Hi, Jessie: According to the _MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers_, 7th ed., for a work of visual art, see the paragraph below. You didn't say whether you are using MLA citation styles, but I've also included the links to the TCC MLA and APA citation guides that are on the TCC library webpage.
Please let us know if you need further assistance, but the libraries will be closed Mar. 14-Mar. 21 and the "Ask Librarian" questions will not be answered during spring break.
http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/resources/forms/MLA.pdf
http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/resources/forms/APA.pdf
From 5.7.6. "A Work of Visual Art" p. 200 of the 7th ed.:
"To cite a painting, lithograph, sculpture, or similar work, state the artist's name first when available. In general, italicize the title and then list the date of composition (if the year is unknown, write N.d.). Indicate the medium of composition. Name the institution that houses the work (e.g., a museum), or, for a work in a private collection, give the name of the collection (Collection of . . .), and then provide the name of the city where the institution or collection is located. If the collector is unknown or wishes to be anonymous, use Private collection without a city name.”
Here’s an example of a painting given in the MLA handbook for a works cited page.
Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. Aristotle with a Bust of Homer. 1653. Oil on canvas. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

4 NEED MORE SOURCES ON THE INSTALLMENT OF SMART METERS IN TEXAS:EFFECTS AS A RESULT
Hi, Maria: I found several articles in the TCC database: _Newspaper Source_. This database includes several Texas newspapers and since your topic is for Texas and this is a very current issue, this is the best first place to look. Here are the keyword terms I used:smart meters electricity texas If you need more information about the meters themselves or about the electricity industry, you might try other databases, such as _Science & Technology Collection_ or _SIRS_. If your instructor allows web pages for sources, you might want to look at Oncor's webpage for specific information about the meters they are installing. Here's the address: http://www.oncor.com/tech_reliable/smarttexas/default.aspx [2025]
5 I am preparing to do a speech on Blackjack, but haveing a difficult time finding reliable sources to base my speech on. Was planning on talking about the history and how to play the game? Any suggestions on how to research this?
Hi, Nicole: If you can broaden your speech to include the history of gambling, you'll find more sources. There is also an e-book in the TCC ebook collection, _ebrary_ on present-day online blackjack tips. The title of the ebook is _Winning Secrets of Online Blackjack_. The campus libraries have books that can be checked out on gambling. Also, in the database _Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia_ there is a short article on blackjack.
All of these sources can be accessed from the library's webpage at: http://library.tccd.edu Please let us know if you need further assistance, however the libraries will be closed for spring break Mar.21-28. The TCC Library Online sources should be available during the break.

7 If I see that a video is at one campus, but need to get it from my home campus-can it be sent to the campus I am at to check it out? Or do I need to go to that campus to check out the video?
Hi, Christina: There are 3 different statements that you might see in the TCC library catalog about videos. The only kind that can be sent from one campus to another is the third example below that states: “Circulating Collection”. If the video is a circulating item, you also must notice if it is presently “available”, which means it’s not already checked out. Please call your home library to check availability. Here is the number for the SE library: 817-515-3082. [2020]

9 im writing a essay from the Southwestern Reporter 2d 538 and i need the sources info so i can write my work cited page
I do not have enough information to sufficiently answer your question. However since you mention you are writing an essay, here are a couple of suggestions.
If you need additional sources, try the databases:
• Go to http://library.tccd.edu
• Click on "Find Articles"
This will take you to the database home page. From there you can search databases by title, subject area, or collection. If you are off-campus, you will need to log in using your web advisor username and password in order to view the databases.
Since you did not state the which citation format you are using, I have included the link to the APA and MLA online quick reference guide available on the main library home page. Also, there are usually citation manuals located at the library reference desk that students may use.

10 Hello My name is Fatima Salem
i have to do a research paper for my history class. am writting about The Three Fifths Compromise and our proffessor asking us about these following stuff:
1. Describe the Issue
2. Describe the sources (who wrote them and what the author has to say).
3. Describe the arguments (pro or con) presented by the authors. This will be one of the largest sections of your work. Are the arguments legitimate? Do they depend on a specific way of defining the facts? Etc.
4. Judge the arguments. Whose arguments do you find convincing, and whose not? Why and Why not? Which author(s) did a better job of arguing their points.

Hi, Fatima: I suggest that you use the TCC databases _History Resource Center_ and _World History Collection_ for your topic. Also, try looking for books in the library's catalog with the keywords: constitution slavery. In the database _History Resource Center_ use the “advanced search” instead of the basic search. In the advanced search you may search in the “full-text” of articles for the phrase: three-fifths clause. See the screen shot below. You might also want to read that section of the U.S. constitution, Article I, Sec. 2 which can be found online at: http://topics.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei [2016]
11 How do you cite a reference book?
Since you did not state the which citation format you are using, I have included the link to the APA and MLA online quick reference guide available on the main library home page. Also, there are usually citation manuals located at the library reference desk that students may use.
In addition, I strongly encourage you to go to the Writing Center on the campus of your choice and get their advice. You may be able to show them the specific work you wish to cite, and they can help steer you in the right direction. They are the citation experts.

12 I was just curious as to what is necessary to check out a book as far as identification. I am a student there. Also, how long can a book be checked out for.
You can use your TCC student ID to check out a book from any of the five campus libraries. If you do not yet have your student ID, you can present a copy of your schedule and fee statement showing your enrollment for this semester along with a picture ID (like your driver’s license) at the circulation desk of your campus library and they will use that identification to check out the book to you. Books check out for three weeks and you can check out up to ten books at a time. [2014]
13 Iam writing a essay for gov class on a court case that I found in the Southwestern Reporter 2d 538 pg201 Mercer v. North Forest Independent School District
Iam having trouble figuring out which court is involved? i was told it has changed.
Who wrote the opinion and what portion of the tx constitution is involved?
Iam having trouble figuring out which court is involved? i was told it has changed.
Who wrote the opinion and what portion of the tx constitution is involved?
Each court case has the name of the court concerned in the "style" or heading of the case. I just sent you a copy of the Mercer case from our Lexis-Nexis database, and pasted a copy below as well just in case. You can see at the very top of the page that the Mercer case was argued in the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, Fourteenth District, Houston. A little further down the page, after the headnotes, you find the name of the judge and the judge who wrote the opinion, in this case they are the same:
JUDGES: J. Curtiss Brown, Chief Justice.
OPINION BY: BROWN

15 I am preparing an informational speech and I need some help in finding statistics on children getting hit by speeding cars in a residential neighborhood. My speech is to inform on why all residintial neighborhood need speed bumps.
Limiting your search to only residential neighborhoods may be too specific. You may need to broaden your geographical area for statistical information and then separately look for articles on speed bumps and/or vehicle accidents involving children and draw your own conclusions. Here are some suggestions that may be helpful.
For general statistical data try the following websites:
Traffic Safety Fact Sheets: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Cats/listpublications.aspx?Id=A&ShowBy=DocType
National Pedestrian Crash Report: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810968.PDF
Prevent Injury: http://www.preventinjury.org/PDFs/PEDESTRIAN_INJURY.pdf
Texas Motor Vehicle Crash Statistics: http://www.txdot.gov/txdot_library/drivers_vehicles/publications/crash_statistics/default.htm
You may also want to check the website of cities in the DFW area. Some may provide online access to their police accident/traffic reports.
To find articles on speed bumps and/or vehicle accidents involving children,
• Go to http://library.tccd.edu
• Click on "Find Articles"
• Click on EBSCOhost located under the heading "Database Collection"
• In EBSCOhost, two databases will be preselected. In addition select the _Newspaper Source_ database and any other databases that pertain to your topic. Click "Continue". Type your subject or topic in the search box, check the boxes "Full Text" then click "Search". If result list includes a plethora of articles, you may want to narrow it down by clicking on: Subject: Thesaurus Term or Subject (located on the left-hand column of the result list) and choosing one of the categories.
I hope this helps.

19 I was looking at the courses in web advisor offered for the Summer 2010 Semester. I there are dates shown in red beside the course, does that mean that particular course is included in the mini-mester?
Good Morning Jennifer,
As far as I can tell from looking at Web-Advisor, the red dates are just used to distinguish which parts of the summer the course is offered in. The Minimester runs from 5-14-10 to 5-28-10 and both the beginning and ending dates appear to be in red. Summer I runs from 6-01-10 to 7-08-10 and the end date is in red. Summer II runs from 7-12-10 to 8-05-10 and the begin date is in red.

If you do need a login and password, then it should be one that you create on the Microsoft website.

22 What the heck is a Boolean Phrase?
Boolean phrase = A Boolean Phrase is a string consisting of literals (keywords to search for), parenthesis, and the following Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT http://www.iqlue.com/prosearch/topics/Boolean Phrase.htm
For instance the search phrase: rock and mineral would indicated to the search software that you required information containing both the words rock and mineral rather than information about just rocks or just minerals.
Probably the best place to find information on identifying rocks and minerals would be one of our books. The Northeast campus library has the following book:
Title:Field book of common rocks and minerals... Illus from photos by W. E. Corbin and drawings by the author.

I feel certain that you will find other similar books should you browse in the QE375 section of your campus library.
[2003]
For instance the search phrase: rock and mineral would indicated to the search software that you required information containing both the words rock and mineral rather than information about just rocks or just minerals.
Probably the best place to find information on identifying rocks and minerals would be one of our books. The Northeast campus library has the following book:
Title:Field book of common rocks and minerals... Illus from photos by W. E. Corbin and drawings by the author.

• Enter your search terms in the search box and click “Search.”

Here is another way to find information in our databases about him, although it will be more about his bands:
• Go the library’s Find Articles (Databases) Web page (http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/voyager/databases/subjects.tcc)
• In the “Databases Grouped By Subject” area select “Arts.”
• Select “Encyclopedia of Popular Music”

I hope this helps!

• On the Catalog home page, type “fifties” in the "Search" box.
• Next to "Limit to" is a drop down box. Hit the down arrow and click on “Library Northeast & eBooks”. Then click on the “Search” button.
• Once you find a book you want to read, click on the title so the individual record comes up. If you find a print book, write down the call number to look for it at the library.

Policies on services and book checkout with the TexShare card are set by each library. Here is a list of participating libraries with links to their lending policies when available.

Hi, Jack: I'm not sure what your question is. Do you want to get a TexShare card so that you can check out books from other libraries? If so, go to the campus library of your choice with your photo ID and it takes a few minutes to issue a card to you. I believe that you're a TCC employee, so the card would be good for one calendar year (it's only good for one semester for students). If that's not your question, please email me back or call me.

31 I need to register for the seminar that will be there tonight and i dont know how
Hi, Cari: You didn't say which campus offers the seminar you want to attend tonight. If this is for a distance learning class, the seminar could be on any campus. There are not any seminars scheduled for the NE campus for tonight, so you might want to call the library of your choice below to find out more details. [1994]
32 i am not sure how to cite a professional web page on my research paper. the website it (www.godiva.com)i couldn't find an author to begin doing my works cited.
Since you did not state the which citation format you are using, I have included the link to the APA and MLA online quick reference guide available on the main library home page. Also, there are usually citation manuals located at the library reference desk that students may use.
In addition, I strongly encourage you to go to the Writing Center on the campus of your choice and get their advice. You may be able to show them the specific work you wish to cite, and they can help steer you in the right direction. They are the citation experts.
APA Citation: http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/resources/forms/APA.pdf
MLA Citation: http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/resources/forms/MLA.pdf
Hope this helps.

33 I need to Identify a current issue that is relevant to families and children or the educational setting. I can use current publications to help select a topic.
Hi, Jade: In order to look over some issues that you might be interested in researching, I suggest you look at the databases under the subject "News and Controversial Issues", such as _Opposing Viewpoints_. Once you've chosen an issue (such as under the term "education"), if you don't find enough articles in that database you could look in the educational databases such as: _ERIC_ and _Professional Development Collection_. [1989]
34 Is there a way to recheck a book online? I have misplaced one of my books and it's due soon, but without it I'm unable to recheck it to allow for more time to find it. If not, what are the fines going to be?

Search History attachment (html)

I think you’ll have the best luck finding information about the “smart hospital” in some of our nursing and allied health databases.
Go to http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/voyager/databases/subjects#9
Click on the database you wish to use
Login according to the on-screen instructions
Enter your search term like this “smart hospital” with the quotation marks. I emailed two articles to you from the Health Reference Center Academic database. You might also consider the broader search terms: nursing and training (make sure and put the “and” in between the words). The database names that contain the words Nursing or Academic will be the better ones to search for information about the smart hospital. The databases with the word Consumer in the name are geared more towards the lay person than the medical professional.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need further assistance.

The libraries also have books on your topic in print and electronic format. [1986]

39 I'm taking the quickbook course at northeast campus. I want to know if you have the book Quickbook pro 2008. I don't know who the author is.
As a general rule the TCC libraries do not own textbooks. However sometimes we have old editions of textbooks that have been donated or sometimes teachers put textbooks on reserve at the library for library use only. I need more information such as the course name and number, and instructor's name before I can answer whether we have this textbook on reserve. However, there are similarly books available for checkout.
To find books:
• Go to http://library.tccd.edu
• Click on "Find Books" and type quickbooks in the search box and click search.
The results list will contain print books from all five campuses as well as e-books and other types of material. If you find a book you are interested in but it is not available on your campus, you can request that this book be sent to the library by completing an Intercampus Loan Request card.
I hope this helps.

41 Hello, is there a place where you can search though news programs for a particular subject? I am looking for information on car theft and car burglary in the Dallas Fort Worth area but if I could find information in Arlington, Texas that would be even better.
The Arlington Police Department has an incredible website that includes all sorts of crime statistics. Here is the main page with info about crime statistics: http://www.arlingtonpd.org/index.asp?nextpg=CrimeStats/CrimeSearchDisclaimer.asp
Click where it says "Click Here to Search Crime Statistics" and you can choose which area of town you wish to search. The statistics are organized geographically so you will have to search one area of town at a time to get an idea of vehicle theft in that area of town. Once you get down to the beat area of maps, you can choose multiple beats to search at once and you can ask the database to give you statistics only on vehicle theft.
Vehicle thefts aren't usually reported in the newspaper unless it was a carjacking, someone was hurt or there was something unusual about the event. You can search the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in our online databases if you like. You will have to login with your campus cruiser userid and password before you can search in the databases.

44 I am doing research on health care reform, and I need more info on how health reform is suppose to work.
Since you did not state where you found the articles, I am going to suggest looking at the databases listed under the "News and Controversial Issues" heading.
To find articles:
• Go to: http://library.tccd.edu/
• Click on "Find Articles".
• Look under the heading "News and Controversial Issues" located under “Databases Grouped By Subject”. Listed there are several databases that will help in finding articles on your topic. The two I suggest as a start are CQ Researcher and Opposing Viewpoints.
You may also want to look at the following website:
www.healthreform.gov
I hope this helps.

45 I am doing an economics project over the coffee industry, i am looking to find information over the supply and demand of coffee. Which database would be good to use for this particular section?
Hi, Andre: For your topic on the coffee industry, you should use the Business databases, such as: _Business Source Complete_ or _Wall Street Journal_. There are also books on the coffee industry that could be checked out. Also, a great source for statistical information on lots of economic questions is _Statistical Abstract of the United States_. The TCC libraries all have reference copies of this book, but it is also available online as a U.S. government web site: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/ [1976]
46 I was wondering if I am able to print books from the library?
Hi, Jennifer: I'm not sure I understand your question so I'll try to discuss several things you might mean. If you are looking for print books to check out from the library or make photocopies from, you may do that at any of the TCC campus libraries. The printing costs are different for each library. For example, NE library charges 10 cents per page for every print or photocopy. All of the campus libraries have books on human rights. If you are asking if we have any e-books that you can print from, we also have access to many e-books on the topic of universal human rights. If you'd like to read chapters from reference books and magazine, journal and newspaper articles about your topic, we also have those.
To find print books or e-books: go to http://library.tccd.edu From the catalog (Find Books), search with the keywords: universal human rights or "civil rights" or "freedom of expression". You may think of other keywords and you may limit to electronic books if that's what you want. You may print pages of these e-books page by page if desired. For printing from e-books, each one is a little different, so follow the directions on the screen. One of the e-books I thought you might search for has the title: _Human Rights Encyclopedia_. From off-campus to access the e-books or databases, you will log in with your WebAdvisor username and password that you use for Campus Cruiser.
You may also want to look for articles in reference books, magazines, journals or newspapers. To do that from the library's webpage, click on "Find articles (databases)" and try these databases: _SIRS Government Reporter_, _History Resource Center_, or the controversial issues databases likes _Opposing Viewpoints_ or _Points of View Reference Center_.

47 I need to write an essay on "What importance does U. S. History have on the 21st century college student" and I'm not getting any relevant results. Any suggestions?
Suggestions for this student: Look for topics in the history textbook that were considered import to remember. Think about lessons the U.S. should learn from the past. Use history books and the history databases such as _History Resource Center_. [1974]
48 i am missing a book for my class would the library have a copy of textbooks so i can copy the information i need out of the book
Thank you for contacting us regarding textbooks on reserve.
Textbooks are sometimes put on reserve at a campus library by the course instructor. To find out if the textbook you are looking for is available at the library you need to ask your instructor if the book was put on reserve or call the South Campus library. The phone number for the South Campus library is 817-515-4524. There is also a chance that if the textbook is not available at the South Campus it may be on reserve at another campus. To find the other campus library phone numbers check out the TCC Libraries Webpage: http://lib-serv.tccd.edu/libraries.
To check-out the item you will need to visit the campus where it is located. Material on reserve may not be taken out of the library and has a time limit for use, usually 2 hours sometimes 24 hours, but this is all at the discretion of the course instructor.
