Books, Journals and Databases
How can I find a journal article?
There are several ways to locate full text journal articles.
1. If you have the full citation you can look in:
E-Journals – our alphabetical list of all of our print and online journals
PubMed Single Citation Matcher- Be sure to use as little information as
possible, i.e. Journal title, year, page number. (Less is more when using
this search option.)
2. Request an Article
3. Phone us at (208) 666-2480
How do I find out if you have a certain book?
1. Select Online Card Catalog from our home page. (We are part of the
Kootenai County Library System)
2. Select "Wood Clinical Staff" from the list of libraries, if you only want items
from our library.
3. The search engine defaults to a keyword search. Select "Title" from the
"Type of Search", if you know the exact title of the book you want.
Can I check out a journal?
We do not check out journals. You can make photocopies ($.10 per page)
of the articles you wish to have.
