Library Website User Focus Groups

The library is building a new website, and we want your input! Do you have answers to these questions?

• How often do you use our website?
• What are the most helpful and least helpful features of the current website?
• What features can we add to improve the website?

Change in ILL policy regarding textbooks

Due to a change in interlibrary loan policies, Davis Memorial Library will no longer process requests for textbooks through interlibrary loan. If you need a textbook for research or study purposes (as opposed to wanting to use it as the required text for a class you're taking) please see one of the reference librarians. We will help you obtain similar materials. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Point of Care Resource now available!

The Library is excited to announce a new point-of-care resource to assist our physician assistant, nursing, athletic training, and social work students. DynaMed contains more than 3,000 clinical summaries of diseases, conditions, drugs, and more. PDA and Smartphone support is available.

Introducing Ovid Nursing Full Text Plus

We are excited to share the newest database addition--Ovid Nursing Full Text Plus. This database indexes more than forty full-text nursing journals including AJN: American Journal of Nursing, Nursing, Nursing Research, and more.

Announcing Westlaw Campus Research

The Davis Memorial Library is pleased to announce a new database called Westlaw Campus Research. This database contains case law and statutes from all states as well as the federal government, news, and Hoovers' Company Records. If you have any questions, please ask at the reference desk, call 630-7645, or email to reference@methodist.edu.

Computer Log In Procedures

Starting June 1, 2009, please use your Methodist University username and password to log in to the library computers. Alumni and community users who do not have a Methodist University account may request a guest password at the circulation desk.

Remote Access

There is a new procedure for accessing the library's resources from home. After you click on the name of the database (i.e. Academic Search Premier or Science Direct), you will be prompted for your email user name (everything before the @ symbol) and your email password. If you have any questions, please ask at the reference desk, call 630-7645, or email to reference@methodist.edu.
