Select Articles with Wilson Select Plus

Did you know that you can find full-text articles on science, art, and business or read older articles from People, Opera News, or Scientific American from the comfort of your own home? It's called WilsonSelectPlus (WSP) and it's one of the databases available through FirstSearch. WSP is a full-text database: all of the articles it provides are complete. You can choose to view them in the HTML format or the PDF format. The PDF format will usually present a snapshot of the page, so illustrations, photographs, and graphics are included. You can also email articles to yourself or others. WSP indexes over 1600 magazine titles, with a good mix of the popular and the scholarly. Whatever mood you're in, whether you're looking for something to read for fun or doing homework or research, WSP is a good place to start. You can find WilsonSelectPlus among the FirstSearch databases on a library internet work station or from home. From the library, click on FirstSearch under Magazines & Journals, click on the databases tab, and choose WilsonSelectPlus from near the bottom of the list. From home, you'll start at the library's home page, www.glenviewpl.org, choose Online Resources from the lower right, again choose Magazines & Journals, and scroll down until you see the FirstSearch logo. You will need an authorization number and password to use these databases from home. Call the Reference Desk (847-729-7500) and we'll be happy to provide you with them.
