1. This tutorial will show you how to easily find books and articles in Oria.
|
|
2. Library's search tool
|
|
3. Start at the university's website. You find a link to the library web pages in the top menu. |
|
4. There you can find the search tool Oria. In Oria you can search for books, scientific articles and much more. Both in paper and electronic versions. |
|
5. To search in Oria, just enter your text into the search field. A simple search works best when you know the title of the book you're looking for, or if you know the author's name. You can also use Oria to explore the literature using keywords. |
|
6. For this example, let's look for literature on how to write a scientific paper. Type your keywords into the search field. |
|
7. Click the button Search in Oria to execute the search.
|
|
8. You will be presented with a list of results that match your search. The list contains many results and a variety of resources, but mainly articles and books. |
|
9. If what you are looking for is hard to find on the results list, you can narrow down the search using filtering options on the right. You can filter results by resource type, language or year of publication. |
|
10. You can also search beyond the UiB collection, by changing the Bergen University Library setting (search scope) in the search field.
|
|
11. Books that are not available at UiB can be ordered via Oria. They will then be borrowed from other libraries. Change the setting to Norwegian Academic Libraries to include material from other norwegian libraries in your search scope. |
|
12. Location and availability
|
|
13. When you have found a book that you are interested in, you can check if it is available. In this case, we have found an ebook. This is indicated by the link labeled "Available online". Click the title or the link for more information. |
|
14. In a new window, you will find links to the full text. The links are located in the section labeled "View It". To access the full text, click one of the links. This will send you to the publisher's website. |
|
15. While electronic books are marked with an "Available-online" link. Printed books are labeled with "Available at Universitetsbiblioteket i Bergen". Click the book title or the availability link to open the book entry for more information. |
|
16. In the section labeled "Get It", you will find details about the book's location within the library. This book is at the Science and Technology Library (abbreviated UBBRB). The library owns one copy of the book, which is available at the moment. |
|
17. The code beside the library name indicates the shelf location. |
|
18. You will find the same code on the spine of the book.
|
|
19. The library shelves are labeled with signs to help you locate the specific codes.
|
|
20. Books available in open collections can be picked up from the shelves and borrowed at the self-service desk.
|
|
21. Books in closed collections
|
|
22. Certain books are stored in closed collections (Mag) and need to be retrieved by library staff. You can request these items via Oria and pick them up once you receive a notification. |
|
23. Sign in to your Oria account to place an order for a book from the closed collection. For instructions on how to request books from closed collections or books currently on loan, refer to another tutorial. |
|
24. Now you know how to perform a simple search in Oria. Contact the Library if you have any further questions. Go to the library's website for contact details and more. |
