Full-Text Journals
January 25, 2008

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.

Digital Bereavement Photography
January 10, 2008

I call your attention to this short touching article by School of Nursing Professor Pat McCartney:

McCartney PR. "Digital bereavement photography." MCN Am J Matern Child Nurs. 2007 Sep-Oct;32(5):322
doi: 10.1097/01.NMC.0000288005.18124.b8


Access it through our electronic journals, the Journals@Ovid database, or if coming in via a UB machine, enter the doi number string above at doi.org/

Two websites she mentions are indeed beautiful and tender:
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Touching Souls
