Health Sciences & Social Work: Library Tools and Stuff

Department Research Guides identify and define standard information retrieval tools for a specific department. Each guide was created and is maintained by the library liaison for that department. We encourage you to recommend resources for the guides.

Library Tools and Stuff

Library Toolbar: This can be downloaded as a Firefox (not Internet Explorer) extension for quick access to library information and research tools. I highly recommend it, for both faculty and students; let me know if you would like any help downloading it.

New Acquisitions: See what's new in the Library catalog!

Mobile Portal: We now have a library Web portal for users of iPhones and similar devices.

Persistant Link Convertor: Need to send someone a link to information use the link convertor so Persistent Article Links can be modified to enable off-campus access by WIU users. This resource automatically adds the necessary prefix to the Persistent Link you provide.

Video Tutorials: The Instruction Unit at Western Illinois University Libraries have prepared a range of video tutorials you can access anytime. They cover aspects of using the library, from services, to conducting research, using databases and citing sources.
