The Warner Memorial Library Website
Accessing the Website If you are reading this document you’re already on the Internet and can easily access the Library’s website. If you are familiar with the University’s website, http://www.eastern.edu, the Library link at the top of the main webpage will open the Library’s home page.

Touring the Website
The current Library’s website presents the student with three columns (i.e. center column, left column and right column). The center column pertains to the main services provided by the library. Students can search through the online catalog for books and databases. Students can also use the center column to access online services such as Interlibrary Loan, media links, chat with a librarian online and get the library contact information. See the attachment "Library Services and Tools," which describes the current library home page.
My Athens
As preparation for this lesson make sure that you have access to My Athens, the current online tool for using Warner Library's research tools and databases. See the attachment "What is MyAthens2" for current information about your My Athens account.
