The majority of our electronic databases and journals are restricted for use only by UF faculty, staff, and students. If you are on campus, the library recognizes your IP address, however if you are off campus, you will need to log on using the UF VPN software.

• Make sure you are logged into the UF VPN!
• Click the tab above for Journal Articles.
• Still need help? Your librarian, Amy Buhler, is available to help you. Just contact her!

• Journal: Be sure that you are looking in the catalog for the journal and not just through the e-journal locator. We have an increasing number of journals online but many titles (especially older volumes) are still in print format. The print journals in Marston are shelved by call number and date: volumes after 1990 are on the 3rd floor and before 1990 on the 1st floor. If we don't hold your desired journal, you can request the individual article through Interlibrary Loan (see book below).
• Book: If you can't locate the book in the catalog, you can order it through Interlibrary Loan. You will need to create a separate ILL account with you contact information and specify as much information as you can about the desired book.
• In either case, please contact Amy Buhler so she is aware of the missing resource.

Marston Science Library has imaging machines located on the second (main) and first floors. These machinces can print, copy, or scan. Copies cost $0.10 (b/w) and $0.50 (color) per page through your Gator 1 card, to which you must add value for vending services at www.gator1.ufl.edu. If you wish to obtain a departmental copier account, contact the Gator 1 card office. You can also check out most journals to photocopy articles elsewhere. Scanners are also available on the second (main) and first floors to make a PDF of the article which you can then save on a USB drive, burn to a CD, or email to yourself.

The best way to obtain help is to contact Amy Buhler, your librarian. She can be reached by email at amybuhl@uflib.ufl.edu, in person at L301B MSL, or by phone at 352-273-2879. Please contact her if you are having trouble finding material, wish to place material on course reserve, have questions about databases, or would like to schedule an instruction session for yourself, class, or lab group.

For general reference questions, please call the Marston Science Library reference desk at 352-273-2856 or instant message our chat reference service at screen-name uflibrarian on Google, AOL, or Yahoo. For more information, please see our "Ask A Librarian" page.

We offer RefWorks, a web-based bibliographic manager, for all faculty, staff, and students. RefWorks allows users to create an unlimited number of accounts, import and create article citations, and format and quickly output reference lists into Word, HTML, or plain text format. You will need to create an account and, if off campus, be sure to use the UF Group code (provided during account creation). Currently, RefWorks is allowing an unlimited amount of data to be stored in each account and you can upload citations, images, documents, and other types of files. There is an extensive amount of help documentation or please feel free to contact Amy Buhler with any questions.

You need to activate your library card every semester, or every time you get a new card. This can be done at any library circulation desk.
