Logins to ArticleFirst and Electronic Collections Online

Logins are no longer required for the FirstSearch databases. I've removed the login page from the Reference binder.
These resources only appear on Databases A-Z, but they do include some indexing not available elsewhere.
Also listed on Databases A-Z is the Union List of Periodicals. Instructions are provided to go to Worldcat and limit the search to 'Serial Publications'. You can see nearby holdings of serials. This is helpful when a patron needs an article and can't wait for ILL.
On a side note, Ulrichs is a great source for finding where journals are indexed. Remember to click 'Log Out' when you're done with your session because there's only one simultaneous user allowed.
