Welcome, MOT students at USM Lewiston-Auburn College!  I want to help make your studies at USM successful, so if you have any questions regarding library or these web resources, don't hesitate to contact me!  

Feel free to suggest other entries to this guide!  I update it continuously, so check back frequently. (Last updated 2-09-2010)

Database:

OT Search  - the holdings of the Wilma West Library at AOTA - includes articles, books, and other resources. Available off-campus; contact the library for the username/password.
Article Linker is NOT activated, but if you see URL in the citation, try the link.  I found Science Direct links opened easily!  You may need to check URSUS or Find Journals by Title to determine if we have the journal in print or online; then use ILLIAD to obtain any articles not here or any books not in URSUS or Maine InfoNet.
