Motivational Toolbox

Books & Media Catalog

You are permitted to use books and eBooks for this assignment. Both can be found by searching the library's Books & Media Catalog. Here are some tips for catalog searches:

  • There is no full-text searching in the catalog, so limit your keyword searches to broad topics (e.g., motivation, not "actualization motivation")
  • You can search the full holdings of both McDaniel College and Carroll County Public Library by changing the "Limit by" drop-down menu on the homepage from CCC Titles Only to All Formats. I do recommend that you search CCC's holdings first, as you will obtain your sources much faster if they are already on campus.
  • To access eBooks in the catalog, just click the hyperlink that says "Online access. Carroll Community College only." The specific text may differ depending on the title, but clicking the hyperlink is all you need to do.
  • When attempting to access eBooks off-campus, you will need to log in using your college email address and password. On-campus users will automatically authenticate.

ProQuest Ebook Central

ProQuest Ebook Central contains over 250,000 eBooks, all of which are readily searchable from the platform's homepage. Feel free to be specific with your keywords, as ProQuest searches every book's full text!
