New Computers Are Coming!

All student computers in the library will be replaced with new ones. Eight have already been replaced. They are located behind the Reference Desk and also by the hall leading to the study rooms.

Next week, the remaining computers in the main lab are scheduled to be replaced. They will be replaced row by row during non-peak hours to minimize disruption in the lab.

Full Text Journal List

The Full Text Journal List on the library's homepage is step number two when you find an article abstract somewhere on the internet and want to know if you can get the full text online.

The most important thing to remember is that you search for the Journal title not the article title.

For example, to locate the following article:

Bisiacchi DW, Huber LL. Physical injury assessment of male versus female chiropractic students when learning and performing various adjustive techniques: A preliminary investigate study. Chiropractic and Osteopathy. 2006 [cited 2007 Nov 6];14.

Chiropractic and Osteopathy is the name of the journal that contains the article. This is what you would search for in the Full Text Journal List.

Computer Lab Moves and Doubles in Size

Twenty-five additional computers have been added for student use in the library. All lab computers are now located in the large area outside A/V.
