*****Top NINE hints *****
….for successful and efficient use of the
University Libraries resources….
•
The University Libraries homepage: http://www.libraries.wright.edu
•
Research Guide for Medicine (comprehensive listing for all medical resources on the library
website) http://guides.libraries.wright.edu/medicine

•
Alternative access to the library resources is available through WINGS, the Wright State
University web portal. http://wings.wright.edu/
o There is a tab labeled “Library” where you can customize your access to databases and
journals.
o Use WINGS for email and calendar access also.
•
All the electronic resources we have available are accessible remotely. Start at the library
website and you will go through the library proxy server using your name and UID#:
•
OhioLINK, Ohio’s state wide academic library consortium provides access to many additional
resources. Name and your WSU UID# are required for authentication.
•
PubMed access: use the library website access to PubMed to be able to link to as much
fulltext as WSU and OhioLINK have to offer.
o This is really important! Both WSU and OhioLINK have added links to PubMed for
fulltext. If you do not use the library website access to PubMed, you will not see these
links. Look for icons labeled FindIt! or OhioLINK EJC. There is also an automatic
connection to our FREE Interlibrary Loan service, Illiad, if the article is not available
electronically.
•
RefWorks - for when you do research, write for publication or just want to keep track of
references to resources…
