Oncourse Library Resources: Course Readings (My eShelf)
This Library Resources tool uses MetaSearch [http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/findit/metasearch ] to link to journal articles, electronic books, and images within Oncourse. It can serve as an alternative to using University Library's Course Reserves system. You will search for items in MetaSearch, save them to My eShelf, and then add them to Course Readings (My eShelf) in Oncourse.
Searching in MetaSearch
Start at University Library's homepage [http://ulib.iupui.edu ] and under the Research heading, select Find Articles→MetaSearch. The Basic Search screen appears as below; it contains the library's Top 100 electronic resources, listed alphabetically by name. You can also choose the Advanced Search tab or Search by subject option.
Saving results to My eShelf

Note the left hand side of the page that shows a box with the tab Topics→Clustered Results and also options to sort results by Date, Journals, and Authors. The box below it is Results By Source that allows you to view results by individual database searched. The checkbox on the right permits filtering by full text.
Use the Find It button 
to check that the full text of the article is available.
When you have clicked on Export/Save, you will receive the box below. Click on the Export button.
