Using Keywords

Searching the library catalog is different than searching Google.  

Keyword is a term that represents the main concept of your research topic.  Using keywords improves search outcomes.

When you are developing these keywords consider:

  • What are the most important words/phrases in your research question
  • How to describe your topic
  • How might someone else search for your topic
  • Do you need to use subject specific terminology
  • Synonyms
 

Off Campus Access

The off-campus access authentication of Yeshiva University Libraries has been switched to YU Microsoft Authentication (Azure AD Single Sign-On), the same as YU Canvas and other YU systems.

  • Students use your student YU email address and your Active Directory password. Your YUAD password is different than your YU student Gmail account.
  • Faculty and Staff members use your YU email address and your Active Directory password. You may be prompted for multi-factor authentication (MFA) when you logon so have your phone available.
  • Did you forget your password? You can reset it yourself by going to Self-Service Password Reset.

If you need assistance logging in, call the YU Helpdesk at 646-592-4357, e-mail helpdesk@yu.edu, or submit a ServiceNow ticket.

The Active Directory Default Password is 5 characters long. It is the first letter of your last name (lowercase) followed by the last four digits of your Social Security Number or YU Banner ID, e.g. j1234.
