Locating Materials
Books are located in the following locations:
From off-campus, you won't be able to read eBooks directly from the Library Catalog. Instead, from off-campus, please search for eBooks directly from the NetLibrary website. You will be asked to supply your campus user name and password. Please ask a librarian if you have any questions about using NetLibrary. The locations of periodicals in our collection, both print and electronic, can be found through ourJournal Search.
You log on to databases and eBooks the same way you log on to the computers on campus, with your campus user name and password. Faculty and staff can use their campus e-mail (Outlook) user name and password.
