How can I find a list of articles on a particular topic or by a certain author?
To find a list of articles on a particular topic, search a bibliographic database such as PubMed. Bibliographic databases can be searched in many ways, including by author, keyword, and subject heading. PubMed is a great place to start, but the library has online bibliographic databases specific to many disciplines, including aging (AgeLine), alternative medicine (AMED), behavioral sciences (PsycINFO), chemistry (SciFinder), and nursing (CINAHL). The list of databases is available on the e-Resources page.

How do I renew my library materials without going to the library?
You can renew current items yourself by going to library's home page then the OneSearch tab and click on "My Libary Account" or go to the WCM Catalog to sign in then click the "My Dashboard" dropdown and select "Requests & Loans".
You can also renew library materials, either current or up to seven days overdue, by contacting the Library SMARTDesk.
