The hope is to bring the Library’s web services to you. To allow you to access the library through websites you visit everyday and make researching a little easier. Want more information about the gadget or Google homepage? Visit the Wilson Library website.

Now when you are searching in EbscoHost, your results will be sorted by “Relevance”. This means that articles that have more of the keywords you searched will come to the top of the result list. You can identify the date range you want to search by using the slide bar on the right side of the results.
Have you ever found the articles and gotten ready to either export them to RefWorks or email them, and the email doesn’t go through or the export fails and you loose all the articles? This is a stress inducing situation, to say in the least! The articles were removed from the folder due to a default setting. This has now been changed! Items will no longer be removed automatically upon exporting or emailing. You will have to indicate that you want them removed by checking the box (see example to the left).

You may have already noticed there is now a library tab in Blackboard!
From the library tab you can: search for books and scholarly articles by subject, request a research appointment with a librarian, and get 24/7 chat help from a librarian. Stay tuned for more subject specific Blackboard library modules!
RefWorks is also available through Blackboard. If you have never used RefWorks before, it is a very nifty (but does have a bit of a learning curve) reference tool. You can export citations from databases, the library catalog, LINK+, and there is even a download that will create citations from webpages! RefWorks is available through the internet so you can access your citations from any computer with internet access. You can also quickly create bibliographies in your favorite citation format (APA, MLA, ASA, AAA, etc.). View how to export citations from ProQuest into RefWorks.
