With one search, you can use Summon to find information found in many of our LIBRARY DATABASES for things like journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles, and ebooks. Use any of the search examples provided on the module pages and in the Build a Better Search section to help you get started.
Click the title link or the Full Text Online button to be taken out of Summon and into the database where an article or ebook actually lives. This is the point where you will be prompted to log in to myPittCC.
You can use the Permanent Link and the Citation provided by Summon in the results list when entering the source information into the Moodle database form. Out to the right of each item in the Summon results list, look for a link icon and a citation icon.
You can choose either MLA or APA format. Highlight and copy the entire citation, then paste it into the corresponding box on your Moodle form. NOTE: The citations provided here may not be perfect, but that's OK. It's a quick way to copy and paste the basic information about the source (article title, magazine title, ebook title, date, etc.) into the Moodle form.
Copy the link provided. When the link is clicked, it will bring you back to this exact source as you found it in Summon.
The video tutorial below will show you how to search Summon to find articles and ebooks from PCC's library databases.
The username and password to access databases is the same as what you use to log in to myPittCC and Moodle. The username is your entire myPittCC email address (jdstudent000@my.pittcc.edu).
Community logins are available to Pitt County residents with PCC library cards and others who are enrolled in or are affiliated with PCC programs and continuing education courses. Scroll down and look for the "Community Login" section.
