Connecting from Off-Campus

Databases of journal articles, reference materials, online journals, newspaper articles, etc. Links to our databases are available by subject category, by title, and from the drop-down menu at the top of each page. Due to license restrictions, most of the Cornette Library's databases are only available to WTAMU faculty/staff/students from off-campus.

• renew them if they are not overdue,
• place a hold on a book that is checked out,
• request an interlibrary loan book or journal article,
• see what holds you have already requested,
• see what fines and fees you have acquired,
• save searches to be automatically run at regular intervals,
• save records to your BookBag,
• and set preferences to be in effect whenever you are logged in.

To log in, enter the last seven digits of your Buffalo Gold Card No. (for instance, 0123456) and your last name in the appropriate boxes. Then click the Login button. As this is your personal information, remember to Logoff or Exit when you are finished.

Check with the staff at the Circulation Desk or call 806/651-2223. Items may not be renewed if they are overdue or lost. Students may not renew their library materials beyond the end of the semester (i.e., May 15, August 15, and December 15). Library patrons with 120-day check-out privileges may only renew their books three (3) times. Patrons with 21-day check-out privileges may only renew their books five (5) times. You may also be blocked from renewing books if:

• You owe fines/fees amounting to $5.00 or more,
• Your library materials are past due,
• Another patron has placed a hold (asked to to check out the item as soon as you return it) on the book,
• Or the item, such as course reserves or videotapes, is not allowed to be renewed
