Find it @ NSU

The Williams Library has configured a new citation/resource linking technology called SFX. SFX links together the Library's databases and e-journals, making it easier to find online full-text of articles. Students and faculty searching in the Library's research databases can click on the button to find full-text articles.

For example, if you search Academic Search Complete and you see the icon underneath the citation, the article is not full-text. BUT, select the icon and a new window opens as SFX searches many of the library’s other databases to discover if the article is full-text in another library database. If an article is full-text in another library database a direct link to the article will display (though some technical glitches still exist).

If it is not available in any of the library databases, select the Interlibrary Loan link and the library will get a copy from another library (no cost for this service).

*Alternative icon, , is displayed in some databases.

BUS-eum and Book signing

On September 17 the Williams Library will host two events:

• BUS-eum - a 40-foot school bus converted into a mobile museum that will bring the stories of Midwest POWs in Nazi Germany to life. The exhibit consists of narrative display panels illustrated with photographs and documents, audio and DVD documentaries, artifacts and more. Presentation College library and the Alexander Mitchell Public Library are co-sponsors.
  When: 11:30am-2:30pm
  Where: South side of the Williams Library (corner of 14th and Washington)

• Book signing - South Dakota author David Volk will discuss and sign his book Draftee: A Highschool Teacher Goes to War. "Volk shares an altogether original and incredibly vivid account of the Vietnam experience. At times derisive, yet surprisingly tender, the author, a correspondent and combat photographer, introduces a menagerie of crazies and eccentrics—and a few good men." Copies of the book will be available.
  When: 12-2pm
  Where: Williams Library
