How do I find help using the indexes and abstracts available on the Library's web site?

  • If you are IN THE LIBRARY, you can ask for help at the Reference Assistance Area on the 1st floor.
  • If you are NOT IN THE LIBRARY OR PREFER TO READ GUIDES,  you can: 
    Click on the ? link to the left of an individual database title via Databases by Name on the Find Articles, Databases page.
    Use the internal Help links available upon accessing a particular index, abstract or database.
  • Also, for a specific question, you can use the AskUs Form for an email response, AnswerXpress for chat, or call the Reference Assistance Area at (208) 426-3301 to speak to Reference Department staff.
