Fill-in the requested information. Access to selected databases and electronic journals and texts are available only to students, faculty and staff who are affiliated with North Dakota State University. Electronic databases provide you with indexes to magazine and journal articles. The indexes are primarily used for keyword searches, but other areas can be searched as well, such as an author's name, an article title, or the title of a journal. Through indexes, you have the opportunity to find research in any chosen discipline.
Research is important because it plays a key role in developing knowledge.
Access to library resources links you to knowledge. The procedure for access to electronic journals is outlined above. If you need journal articles that are not available electronically, please use the interlibrary loan service outlined below. You will need your barcode number to obtain or order anything through interlibrary loan. Most likely the materials you will need through interlibrary loan will be found in your search of the indexes or online catalog.
