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 ebooks 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.
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
the
Library Tech Support.
Find Articles from Journals, Magazines,
Newspapers & Books
Databases listed under Find Articles index articles 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.
Items owned by the library and most ebooks can be searched in
the
SC Catalog.
Reference ebooks and
ebooks, an entire print book converted
into an electronic format, are listed on their respective web pages.
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 "Link to Full Text" hyperlinks to access
it through another database.
Another method to retrieve full-text articles is to search
Find Full Text Periodicals. Search by the
title of the periodical to find if full text is carried in a
database. Use
Find an Article with a Citation 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Finally, you can search the Internet to see if the article has been
archived and is available for free.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.
