Help! I need an article!
-
Whether you are a freshman or a doctoral student, you will eventually need to access journals/articles for your research. We have you covered!
-
Articles come from journals, and journals come either in print or in an online database. We maintain print subscriptions to some key journals that are either not in a database or the database only allows access to older issues. If you find an article in a journal to which we have a current print subscription, email us at library@nelson.edu with detailed information about the article and a librarian can help retrieve the volume from library storage.

Begin by selecting the digital material you wish to access, like from one of these:

Enter your Blackboard/Nelson credentials
Almost all library resources require you to login using the same username/password you use to access Blackboard or Nelson email. Your username is usually your first name, middle initial, and last name: johnedoe. Your password is unique to you. If you need your password reset, please talk to the IT office, or contact ithelpdesk@nelson.edu.
Enjoy browsing!
That's it! You should now be able to search the digital resources. Some databases may require you to log in to save your resources to a folder, or you can email articles to yourself as well. Any vendor account, like an Ebsco folder, is a separate account from your Nelson library account at nelson.edu/library.
