• Many of our periodicals are available electronically. NDSU is moving to a new list of electronic journals.
  During this time of transition, it would be wise to check the new and the old lists:

  • E-Journals - Our old listing of electronic journals available through NDSU.
• Some of our periodicals remain in paper or on microfiche. Use ODIN, the online catalog, to identifiy and locate these titles.
• Interlibrary Loan is available from both on and off campus as long as you are a student.

Other Good to Know Information:

• If you are out of the area student teaching, you may contact the Reference staff, ILL, Circulation, or the Educational Services Librarian using the 800 number - 1-800-843-7358.
• Go to the Library's Distance Education pages for assistance in accessing Library resources from out of the area.
• If you are off campus and need to use the Library resources, your best selection will be available if you use one of the LogIn links on the home page. Not all of our licenses allow remote access.
• To use local resources at MSUM or Concordia, be sure your card has been activated here at the NDSU Library.
• After you graduate, you no longer have access to the subscription online resources. If you are in the area, alumni can bring in their old ID cards and use the Library. We can offer guest access to our online systems in the Library for research. We just need a photo ID.
