Because you already have enough to remember, here’s something you can soon forget—your Library Password.
Over the next few weeks, the Libraries will be reconfiguring most of our automated systems to work with WUSTL CONNECT.
With your WUSTL KEY, you will be able to:
• Login to any public computer in the Libraries
• Connect to the proxy server from off-campus
• Manage your library account through My Catalog
• Renew or request books
• Search for and retrieve articles
• Order materials through MOBIUS and Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)
• Access online course reserves
The WU Libraries is twittering. Follow us and find out about library events, new resources, service updates, and other interesting tidbits.
Per feedback from faculty and students, the Libraries have switched from FirstSearch to EBSCO for the MLA International Bibliography. This new interface offers a number of features including:
organize citations into folders
When searching, you should still use the same vocabulary as before. For example, use "nazism" NOT "national socialism".
Access to MLA in Firstsearch will be active until July 1, 2009.
More information about the EBSCO interface will be provided later. Feel free to contact Brian (bvetruba@wustl.edu; 5-4824) with any questions.
