The College of St. Scholastica Library
CSS ID (Library Card)
Your CSS ID serves the function of a library card. If you do not have a CSS ID contact ADEP and request one. Before you can begin to take advantage of Library services, your card needs to be activated. This should occur automatically upon the issuance of the card. If for some reason your card is non-functioning, contact the CSS Library and your card can be activated manually. You will need to supply the Library with your name, status (i.e. undergraduate or graduate student), 14 digit barcode number from the back of your CSS ID, and your CSS student number (this is a CSS-generated number which starts with a B or V). This may be done either by the phone (218-723-6140) or by emailing the Library. An active card allows you to check out books from the CSS Library, request books and articles via the MINITEX and ROVER services, and have free access to proprietary (pay-for-use) article databases available via the CSS Library. PLEASE BE AWARE that your CSS ID is valid only for services & access to databases provided by the CSS Library. Your password will not give you access to databases available through other institutions.
If you access PALS from off-site of the Duluth campus, PALS will default to search "All Libraries" - meaning all 125 member libraries at one time. If you wish to search only for books in the CSS Library, you must select "College of St. Scholastica" from the list of libraries supplied. Detailed instructions for searching PALS are available via the CSS Library Online Lab. For searching basics, use Worksheet One: Database Searching. For searching for books by subject, use Worksheet Three: Finding Books through Subject Searching. The University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota - Duluth, and the majority of public libraries in Minnesota are not part of PALS. If you wish to search for books in these libraries, the catalogs must be searched individually. Follow this link for a selected list of non-PALS libraries in Minnesota. If the CSS
Library does not own a book you are interested in, a copy can be borrowed
for you from another library through the MINITEX
system (Interlibrary Loan). If you live more than 50 miles from the
Duluth campus, you may request to have books mailed to your home address
via the Rover service. Follow this link
for detailed information about the ROVER service.
Most databases index (list) articles from approximately the mid 80's to the present. To locate citations to older articles, it is necessary to use a print index. There are exceptions, such as PsycInfo, and as companies find ways to create profits by providing access to older articles, more will become available. Database access from off-campus is available on the Library's Database Access page. The CSS Periodicals List is available online. This is a list of the print subscriptions of journals and magazines available in the CSS Library. Access to journals and magazines not listed in the CSS Periodicals List may be available via selected databases. Detailed information about the difference between journals and magazines, how journals disseminate research, how to recognize an article that is primary research, etc., is available via the CSS Library Online Lab. Choose Worksheet Four: Finding Journal Articles. Copies of articles from journals and magazines not owned by the CSS Library can be requested from another library through the MINITEX system (Interlibrary Loan). If you live more than 50 miles from the Duluth campus, you may request to have articles mailed to your home address via the Rover service. Follow this link for detailed information about the ROVER service. PLEASE BE AWARE
that the full-text of all articles DOES NOT EXIST ON THE COMPUTER "SOMEWHERE."
Some databases have no full-text. Some offer a majority of articles in full-text.
The availability of full-text is dependent on the leasing agreement between
the institution and the database supplier.
These are searchable via PALS. Select "College of
St. Scholastica" Library from the list of libraries provided. Conduct a
"Subject Heading, Exact" search for "management thesis." This will provide
a browsable list of over 200 management theses/projects, most of which can
be sent to you via the ROVER service. For information regarding the procedures for preparing
your thesis or project for binding, please review the following pages: Guidelines
for preparing your thesis or project for binding (.pdf file) Thesis/project worksheet (.pdf file)
The above guide is not a substitute for students purchasing
either the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers or the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association. Students in graduate
programs are encouraged to purchase a style manual since they provide in-depth
examples of various types of citations and details of proper formatting of
papers. This page was last updated
