EBSCO Overview for MN DOC Higher Education Partners
This recorded training provides an overview of the EBSCO Correctional Ed platform, what it is, what it is not, and how it works. This is worthwhile viewing [for instructors and academic support staff] to understand what the database platform looks like and the process for requesting and receiving resources from your students' perspective.
How TREC students request for articles
through Ebsco database through their tablets
TREC students can search and request for full-text articles from academic journals and periodicals (pending approval by DOC library/education staff) using the following Ebsco database on their tablets:
Academic Search Premier
https://research-ebsco-com.content.elibrarymn.org/c/nfiawx/search?db=aph
The search features and interface to this database (available freely to everyone in Minnesota through eLibraryMN) may look slightly different from what students actually see on their tablets, but the overall content available to them is similar - they can search for and browse article abstracts before requesting them.
*If a full-text article had been previously requested and approved by the DOC education /library staff, then it will be already available for students to access on their tablets.
Instructors: Whenever possible, please remind students to select your course and “Research paper” as the reason for their full-text article requests!
