What we DO NOT have is full-text access to Science magazine. We are currently looking into acquiring electronic access to Science magazine, but need to investigate the costs further before making a decision. It appears that the first time someone uses the Grants database they need to register and choose their own individual password which hopefully is independent of anyone else who uses the database. Faculty, if you are planning to give a library assignment, it is very helpful for the library to have a copy of the assignment ahead of time. If you send Laurel Kristick a copy in advance, she can check to see that the materials are available and inform the Reference Desk staff.
Reserves are for either two hours or two days.
To avoid delay, please place materials on reserve before the beginning of the term, the earlier the better. For example, you can see and test any subject databases we are evaluating. Academic Universe is available to faculty, students and staff of Oregon State University with the Valley Library's subscription to the database through the Orbis consortium of libraries. Academic Universe offers full text articles and transcripts for a number of newspapers, magazines and radio and TV news programs as well as legal material and other reference sources. The library welcomes recommendations for book and journal purchases from the faculty by phone, e-mail or campus mail.
