Orillia Instructional Videos

These videos will help you with research at Lakehead-Orillia.

Books from other Lakehead locations, or electronic delivery of book excerpts (or articles)

On the library homepage, click the magnifying glass on the far right side of the Omni search box, and then, on the next page, click the Advanced Search link. If you are searching specifically for books, change the Material Type drop-down on the right, to Books and eBooks.

 

Enter keywords and run your search. If you know an exact title that you are looking for, you can change Any Field on the left to Title, and enter your exact book title, for a more accurate search.

When your book results come up, look at your options for filtering your results, on the left side.

Available Online = only see ebooks.

Available in Lakehead Library = only see print books.

Lakehead Library = viewing books by location, i.e. the Chancellor Paterson Library in Thunder Bay, or the Harvie Legacy Library at Orillia University Avenue, or the Orillia Education Library at the downtown Orillia location.

Click on a book that you are interested in. In the middle of the book record page, view the library location where this book is kept.

If the book is held at a library location which you are unable to access, click the Sign In link, and then sign in with your normal Lakehead credentials.

On the next page, if you wish the print book to be sent to your home library location, choose Request and then state the pickup location where you need the book to be sent. The Harvie Legacy Library is the library in Simcoe Hall at the Orillia University Avenue location.

If you are a Distance Education student, you can also use the Request button to ask for the book to be sent to your home-address.

If you wish for a section of a physical book to be scanned and emailed to you, choose the Digitization option.
