Copyright Program - Your Feedback, please!
August 10, 2007

The University Libraries is interested in developing a "Conversations in the Disciplines" proposal for an '08 program focusing on copyright issues. We're especially interested in educational media, technology, and digitization issues.

We'd like to know what would be of interest to you.

So, what are your top 3 concerns regarding copyright and educational media materials?

Do you have any suggestions for "must-have" speakers?

As one of the conference planners, I welcome and appreciate your feedback.

Full-text Electronic Journals
August 08, 2007

When searching the library's databases, we know that ultimately you want to get the full-text of the article.

Often the database will provide, or lead you to, a full-text link. Unfortunately, we are not 100% totally there yet! Sometimes no full-text link is provided, but the library may still have an electronic copy of the article you are looking for.

Try looking in the following locations for the journal articles you are having problems with. Search by the name of the journal.


Keep in mind that most journals started providing electronic access around the mid-1990's. Use the catalog to find out if the library has a print copy (along with the electronic one) so you can make a photocopy.

So what happens if you still can't find the journal or date you need?

Request a copy through Interlibrary Loan, using ILLIAD. This service is fast, easy, and there is no cost to you.

Remember, if you located on the South Campus, you can request journal articles and books located on the North Campus to be delivered to the South Campus to save you a trip. Use Document Express, for this service.

Information-wise, we are still in an electronic transition period. So while the systems are working to make it more seamless for you, we still have a bit to go. If you can't find what you need, give a call and I can help.
