It used to be that you had to wait for the library to open to get your book, couldn’t remove reference materials from the library and the information was often found only on paper. West Virginia University Libraries is making use of the increased access that technology provides by offering more information outside of its walls for use at any time. One way the WVU Libraries does this is by carrying online books called e-books which can be accessed through the Mountainlynx catalog on the library’s website. The university community also has online access to digitized copies of specialized books found only at WVU and more than 30,000 electronic journals. According to Bill Rafter, head of Library Systems and Technology, accessibility is key and the more documents that become available online, the easier using library services will become for patrons.
