Reserves
Materials from the library's collection or from your personal library can be placed on reserve for students. Contact Cheryl Barnett 620.229.6312 about reserves. Textbooks and other required materials for a course and interlibrary loan materials cannot be placed on reserve because of copyright law.
Accessing Online Services
All the online services such as e-books and databases can be
accessed off-campus 24/7.
Because the library pays for most of the online services, they are
password protected. When prompted, you will need to enter your
Southwestern learner ID number and last 5 digits of your social
security number (or last 5 digits of your SC learner ID number) as
your password. To find out your SC learner ID, use the
SC ID Number Finder.
SC ID numbers and passwords are updated every weekday. Therefore,
there may be a lag time over weekends before your ID number will
work to open the databases. If you have problems logging in, please
contact
Alex Thomas.
Find Articles from Journals, Magazines,
Newspapers & Books
Databases index articles and books on various topics. Some have
only citations and abstracts while others provide the full text
article. Although the information is accessed on the Internet, they
are not web pages but actual journal, magazine, and/or newspaper
articles. There are also databases of reference books and e-books,
an entire print book converted into an electronic format.
Online Full Text Articles
If the database provides full-text articles, you simply need to
click on the hyperlink to retrieve it. If the database does not have
full text, you may need to use the LinkSource hyperlinks to access
it through another database.
Another method to retrieve full-text articles is to search
SC Online Periodical Holdings -
Complete A to Z Title Listunder Periodical Holdings. Search by the
title of the periodical to find if full text is carried in a
database. This is a great way to find an article when you only have
the citation.
Finally, you can search the Internet to see if the article has been
archived and is available for free.
Google and
Find Articles at
BNET.com
are two of the best search engines for this. If the above methods
fail, contact a librarian for assistance or request the article
through Interlibrary Loan.
