Frequently Asked Questions
How can I link to an article or e-book from a library database in Blackboard?
Please view the document Linking to Library Resources for instructions on linking to articles and e-books in Blackboard.
Is there a way to check papers for plagiarism?
The library subscribes to TurnItIn a plagiarism detection program. Call us at (414) 227-7180 to request more information.
Do you take recommendations for journals, books, and education DVDs?
Yes, If you know of quality resources that are not part of our collection, please send us an email library@msoe.edu.
May I request library materials through interlibrary loan for entertainment or personal enrichment?
Yes, but please be aware that new and/or popular books- such as the latest in a series, or the latest book made into a movie- may be difficult to obtain through Interlibrary loan. Most other libraries cannot lend these types of books because they are already checked out or they have policies that do not allow new books to circulate.
