Important Library Websites

The Morton Library home page connects you with our staff members, offers access to our online catalog and electronic resources (including major databases and full-text religious studies journals), and posts our news and announcements.
Our Online Library Catalog provides access to the entire collection of over 400,000 items of all formats in the William Smith Morton Library.
The Orientation Manual provides detailed information about all administrative aspects of the library, including important rules and policy outlines.
The Tutorials page offers extensive self-guided text and video tutorials designed to teach you to use our Library's online catalog and several religion databases.
The Instructional Resource Center manages all nonprint media and curriculum. This site offers links to Christian Education information and the Niebuhr and Tillich recordings collections.

The Online Databases page. When you conduct a search in one of these databases, it will offer you a way to move directly to any selected article that is available in full text (with login). Click on the "View Full Text" link in an article's bib record.
The Morton Library Catalog lists 150+ electronic full-text journals. We subscribe to these journals directly from their publishers. Look for the Electronic Location link in the bib record, through which (with network login when prompted) you can search for an article.


CD-ROMs

The Library maintains a collection of electronic research materials and instruments that are not accessible through the campus network, such as BibleWorks. They must be fully loaded on specific computers in the Library, and therefore can only be used inside the building. These programs are briefly described on the Electronic Reference page.
