Introduction to Library Materials

Library Materials

Many useful resources are available in the College of the Redwoods Library, including books, reference books, eBooks, and videos. Additional resources may be available at the Del Norte or Humboldt County Libraries and Cal Poly Humboldt Library. Visit those libraries' websites to search their catalogs. Use OneSearch to find books and other resources about your topic in the CR library and selected, college-level resources on the web.

Credo Reference

Credo Reference is an extensive online collection of reference materials and resources available to CR students and staff.  In this guide, you will find many links that pull directly from Credo's resources.  However, you can also search Credo's resources in Health and Medicine directly by typing your research terms in the box below.

CR's Library Collection (use the tabs to see different collections)

To read an Ebook, click on the link. You may be prompted to log in with your student ID number. Some Ebooks can be downloaded, look for the instructions. Other Ebooks can only be read online, and will "time out" after fifteen minutes if nothing is clicked. 

Streaming videos can be viewed on any device, and can be found searching OneSearch or the video databases listed below. You may be prompted to login with your WebAdvisor I.D. and eight digit birth date.

These items may be checked out from the College of the Redwoods library. They will be found on the library shelves by their call numbers.

You can also enter the call number in OneSearch and use the virtual browse to locate books with a similar topic. 

Reference books include encyclopedias, handbooks, manuals, guides, dictionaries, and compilations of resources such as primary documents. Reference books will provide a good overview of your topic, in a short and well organized way, and are good for getting started with any research assignment. 

Printed reference materials must be used in the library, but usually you will only need to consult these sources briefly. 

DVDs are located on the shelves beside the Reference Desk. They can be checked out, or can be viewed on the computers and laptops available in the library. Check out headphones at the circulation desk.
