Library Journals page

The Journals page of the Library site has been updated. Most of the "Full Text" links now take you to a Hamilton Library page where you will need to select "On Campus" or "Off Campus." The IfA building is considered "On Campus." If you are at home or on a trip, you can use the "Off Campus" link and your UH ID to access the same level of information.

A big mahalo to Puanani for all her hard work!
