Search for books, journals(not articles), dvds and government documents owned or subscribed to by USA. Publicly available at http://library.southalabama.edu
This is a database of all the journals we subscribe to in print and electronically. Once you have a citation to an article, go here to see if the Libraries have a subscription to this particular volume, issue and year of the journal you need. Occasionally the information is incorrect and/or unclear. Call us at 460-7025 if you have any question about the availability of these journals. NOTE: Some magazine and journal publishers "embargo" the latest year of electronic versions. This means that the most recent issues will not be available online for a year from their publication date.
InterLibrary Loan: For students holding Jag cards, the library will borrow books and articles we don't have from other libraries for you. The process requires creating a profile, login and password which are invoked when you need this service called ILLIAD. If we are able to find the items in libraries with which we have reciprocal agreements, there is no charge to you (it does cost the library about $25 each--so don't use it lightly). NB: If you are in a medical, BMD, nursing or allied health field use the Biomedical Library Interlibrary Loan. All other disciplines use the University Library ILLIAD
(Available remotely through the University Library homepage under "Articles, Indexes, Databases" or the Biomedical Library's homepage under "Databases/Resources".
