Library Resources

As promised, here's a quick list of links/resources to check out
on finding info. for your paper:

The NDSU Library Homepage:
  http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/

- From this page, connect to and do a search with InfoTrac,
EBSCO, or   ProQuest.  There is some journal duplication between these
three sources.
    InfoTrac: http://www.odin.nodak.edu/authgate/
    EBSCO: https://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ejourn/ebsco/
    ProQuest: https://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ejourn/proquest/

- Use WebSPIRS and select databases in the INSPEC group and then
do a term search.  If the article is available online there will be an
LHM entry with a URL.
    WebSPIRS: https://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/spirsdist/

- Use the Ejourn system to search for a journal.
    Ejourn: https://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ejourn/

- Of course, you can search WebPals as well, or even ODIN.
These are the online Library "card catalogs" for NDSU/MSU and UND,
respectively.
    WebPals:
    http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/newsite/Databases/webpals/
    ODIN: http://webcat.odin.nodak.edu/

- On the NDSU Library homepage, there is a link at the top to
"Databases" which contains a large number of online resources.  Some that
apply to us:
    ACM Digital Library: http://www.acm.org/dl/search.html
    EI Compendex:
    http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/search/database/compendex
    Virtual Library: http://cuisung.unige.ch/vl/Computing.html

- And of course, the info available on the Web on MUD/MOO
Environments:
    Yahoo MUD: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=MUD
    Yahoo MOO: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=MOO
    TECFA: http://tecfa.unige.ch/edu-comp/WWW-VL/eduVR-page.html
    MUD Resource Collection: http://www.godlike.com/muds/


Many times, the article or journal you want will NOT be
available online or locally through one of our subscription
services.  However, most of these articles are obtainable in
only a day or two by submitting an ILL request:

    ILL Periodical request:
    http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ill/ill-periodical.html

Many times, ILL will be able to do an electronic delivery.  In
this case, you are given a URL that will allow you to access the
journal as a PDF 5 times or for 14 days, whichever comes first.

I remembered a link I had years ago, and lo and behold, it's
still being
updated.
