How to Discover BOOKS in the Library Catalog and Beyond

Choose the Books & More tab on the library home page. Click on "More Search Options" to access all catalog search functions.

If you need or would like to discover more books after searching the F&M Library Catalog, search WorldCat, a global library network.

Use E-Z Borrow, a regional expedited book-sharing network, to borrow books not available at F&M. [E-Z Borrow requires your F&M ID barcode number.]

Where to Search for Journal and Periodical ARTICLES

(The links below also are available from the Library home page under Research Resources: A to Z List.)

Periodical Abstracts: Indexes general periodicals and academic journals covering business, current affairs, economics, literature, religion, psychology, women's studies, etc.
Readers' Guide Full Text: Indexes hundreds of popular/general interest publications.
Lexis Nexis Academic: Provides access to newspaper articles, popular periodicals, business information, and legal resources.

How to Obtain Journal and Periodical Articles

If immediate access to an article does not appear to be available, do not despair! To learn if we have a subscription to the journal or periodical you need, search F&M's electronic and print journal titles here: Journal Finder.

To obtain articles from publications to which F&M does not subscribe, fill out an Interlibrary Loan request form, using the information found in your original citation.
