| Topic: Accessing WVU's library
system.
WVU is a larger university with
several libraries.
Chances are good that if a journal is not available at Frostburg, it
will
be available at WVU. In certain circumstances, you may have to
drive
out to the campus to get the journal article you need instead of
waiting
for interlibrary loan. This page will tell you how to see if a
certain
journal exists at WVU and how to get to the campus.
How to see if a journal is at WVU
Access the WVU library catalog system
by clicking
on this web page:
http://mountainlynx.lib.wvu.edu/
To search for the title to a journal,
type in the name of the journal and do a search by
Journal/Magazine/Newspaper
Title
Then click SEARCH.
If the journal is there, results will
show up on
the next page. This results page will
indicate what years of the journal are available, and at which
library. Psychology journals
will be mainly housed in the Downtown library but may also be
included
in Evansdale
library (which is for education majors). Print out the
results
page and take it with you.
Once you
reach the right library, ask a librarian at the reference desk
for help in locating the
journal.
