Some E-Journals now have catalog records

There are several different ways to gain access to the full-text electronic journals in our collection, and we have just added one more. About 175 of them now have records that display in our Morton Library catalog. So, if you search for Religious Education as a Journal Title, you'll get a result like this :

Note that there are now two bib records for this item : one for the paper serial, and one for the "Computer file." If you open the full bib record, you will find a link beside the words "Electronic Location." Clicking on that link will bring up a copyright notice box. Click on the little document graphic beside the word "Title." (If you are outside the campus network, you will be asked to login with your network user ID and password.) You will then connect to the publisher's website for Religious Education, and you will be able to see which issues we can access and reach them that way.

This process sounds more complicated than it really is! Just try it once, and you'll see how it works. Now you have another way to get to some of our full-text electronic content. Many thanks to our Catalog Librarian, Irina Topping, for making this possible.
