READING - FOR INDEPENDENT ASSIGNMENTS & FOR ENJOYMENT: HOME

This guide is intended to assist students with making an independent reading selection for a class.

READ A BOOK!!!!!!!!!

MRS. FRECH-OMMENDATIONS

Those who read on frequent basis often have their favorite ways of exploring what to read next, while other readers aren't sure where to go and welcome suggestions.

If you are interested in reading recommendations, feel free to have fun and explore the main tabs on this LibGuide. 

Once you find something that catches your interest, go to the PADUA LIBRARY tab to access Padua's Catalog to see if we have it. Keep in mind that Padua is a smaller Library, so I only carry popular reads for our students; however, if Padua doesn't carry the title you are personally seeking, don't worry. Even if Padua does not carry a particular book, you can check out the public library links for a print or e-copy. One way or another, you can find any book that interests you!!!!!

Email or stop up to see me if you need any help locating a particular title.

ACCESSING LIBGUIDES: 

Access LibGuides, Padua Databases, and the Padua Library Catalog at home or from anywhere outside of Padua via computer or any mobile device by doing any of the following:

  • MyPad > Groups > Padua Library
  • PaduaFranciscan.com > Academics > Library
  • Google "Padua LibGuides" in search engine (just make you select our school). 

DATABASE USERNAMES & PASSWORDS: 

You will most likely need Usernames/Passwords for Padua's "DATABASES" when accessing them anywhere outside of Padua, which I cannot publicly share on this page, so find the Passwords/Usernames by doing the following:

  • MyPad > Group > Padua Library > Quicklinks > Database Passwords
  • Note: You can save the PW Chart to your Google Drive if you would like.

HELP!!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH ANY LISTED SITE OR ANYTHING ON A LIBGUIDE...WHAT SHOULD YOU DO????

Keep in mind that while I strive to be sure all sites that I use on LibGuides are unblocked for student users, some may still give our filter issues because they are deemed social media sites (like Goodreads). So if anything isn't working the way it should be. Please drop me a gmail (afrech@paduafranciscan.net), and I'll get on it as soon as I can.
