Instructions for Searching JIAAW Library Catalogue:

 

A. Log into Refworks through the Brown Library website.

  1. Access Refworks via Brown Library Website: http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/University_Library/
  2. From the “Select a Quick Link” bar, choose “Refworks,” found under the E-Resources heading.
  3. Follow the link to log in from an on-campus location, or if connected to wireless, follow the off-campus link (logging into Refworks from off-campus requires you to enter your Brown username and password)
  4. Login name: JoukowskyInstituteLibrary
  5. Password: 1234
  6. If you are logging in from an off-campus location, you may need to enter the group code. Group Code: RWBrownU

B. To search all books, begin search from opening page. To search within a specific folder (Books, Maps, Reference, Journals) select the folder from the pull-down menu “view.”

  1. Searching Tips: Search by title or author is recommended
  2. ISBN searches are best only when you need a specific edition or volume
  3. Call number searches are best only when you don’t have time to search by title or author!  Call numbers are not necessarily the same in every library – the subject that a book is catalogued by may vary, depending on the library’s focus or need.  Call numbers of books in the Joukowsky Institute library should match those in the Brown Library system, when both libraries have the same volume.  Books borrowed through ILL may not have matching call numbers.
  4. Serials may be cataloged as a series or as individual volumes, depending on how many volumes the library owns and how a serial’s subject relates to the Institute.

C. Click on “View” to display the call number and more information about the item you need.

  1. Information displayed may include author or other responsible parties, title, number of volumes, descriptive information (i.e. number of pages, size), notes, and call number.

D. If the library is missing a volume or other part of a serial or mutli-volume work, this should be noted under “notes,” so be sure to check this section if you cannot find an item on the shelf.
