Library Resources for Alumni: Practicing abroad?

Many journals will let you sign up for a free table of contents service.   You may not be able to access the articles, but you can see what's new.

Check favorite database vendors (such as RefWorks) for individual subscriptions.

Tell us where you're heading and we will try to help you find resources there.

While we suggest that you access PubMed through the Laupus website while you are at ECU (more full text that way) -- you can access PubMed directly from any Internet connection.   You will still have access to some full text.

Go to  PubMed  www.pubmed.gov

RefWorks Alumni Program

• Alumni are: students who have graduated from ECU; students who are transferring from ECU to a school that does not have RefWorks; retired employees.
• Before the alumni leave ECU, they will need to create a back-up of their RefWorks database. This will have to be done on-campus or off-campus via proxy. (http://lib.ecu.edu/databases/go/393)
• After they leave ECU, they will create a new account as outlined in the documentation below and import the back-up of the database.
