[ What's New ]

Easier Off-Campus access to library resources for all Northwest students, faculty and staff is up and running

The Terminal Server method has been replaced with software called EZproxy.

When you want to get to a restricted Owens Library electronic resource (like full text articles in e-College) from an off-campus location, the new system requires you to select an article or database link and then enter your Northwest email username/password.

That's it.  Easy.  EZproxy.
If you encounter any technical problems, have questions or comments, please contact Sarah Park (gopark@nwmissouri.edu) at 660-562-1534.

Dual Monitors available (1st floor, Information Access Stations)

Working online has just gotten easier. Open a library database on one monitor, and have a word document open on the second monitor for writing your paper and creating your works cited list. Or, like this student is doing, open PowerPoint on one monitor and search the web on the other.
