Starr King is a member institution of the Digital Theological Library 2 (DTL2), a co-owned online library for theology and graduate religious studies. Through DTL2, SKSM has joined the second cohort of twenty graduate schools to utilize a DTL database. DTL2 offers tens of thousands of journals and hundreds of thousands of books across multiple disciplines, extending beyond religious studies to include other fields in the humanities as well as the sciences.
The use of the DTL2 is pretty intuitive, but you can view tutorials here. The tutorial videos show the original DTL, but the differences between the two libraries are cosmetic.
Beginning July 2023, SSO (Single Sign On) was implemented for the DTL2 with Populi.
Alternative log in through Populi: Home/Links/”Access the DTL/2 here”
You will be able to schedule Zoom consultations with the reference librarian as an individual or for group projects or whole-class sessions.
Starr King has also contracted with DTL2 for the services of a reference librarian, Chris Crawford. The reference librarian is available to recommend, interpret, evaluate, and/or use information resources to help patrons with specific information needs. For other assistance, please contact the Coordinator of Academic Programs.
Chris can be emailed at reference@thedtl.org.
If necessary, Zoom meetings can also be scheduled using the following link: https://calendly.com/dtlreference.
The reference librarian’s office hours are 8 am –12 pm PT during the work week.
