Invitation from the Library

All staff and faculty are invited to drop by the library for a quick demonstration of our latest tool - Find it. You do not have to set an appointment. Just stop in and a library staff member will show you how this tool makes it very easy for users to find electronic journals in our collection. I also want to take this time to thank some people who made this project possible. Linka Holey supported the acquisition of this tool; she was on board from the very beginning. Without Lee Amenenya, I would not have been able to fully implement this new resource. He provided critical technology support and made it possible for the tool to be available for use before the start of fall semester. Alex Thomas-Thomas-puffe, with her wonderful skills, designed images and buttons so that we could customize the tool. Ruth Ann Schwartz, Lauren Leighton, and Rachel Mcgee gave feedback about the new tool and continue to test it out for the Twin Cities and Winona libraries. Thank you! -Gretchen Pyle

New Library Tool

If you are a regular user of our Full Text Journal List, you will notice that we have replaced it with a new tool. We call it Journal Finder. It works in much the same way that the Full Text Journal List worked. It is a tool that will allow you to determine whether or not Saint Mary's has access to a particular journal or journal article so that you can access the full text. Please watch for more information about this new tool and related components of this tool.
