Tired of hitting a paywall? Climb right over them with the resources at the Ross Pendergraft Library. Scholarly articles, newspapers, and now magazines are all within handy, mobile-friendly reach from our website: library.atu.edu
New this month: RPL just activated the OverDrive Magazine Collection, featuring over 5,000 popular magazines available through the Libby app. Read full-text and full-photo issues of The New Yorker, Rolling Stone Magazine, Newsweek, and the Taylor Swift – Eras Tour Commemorative Issue all from the convenience of your phone.
To get started with the OverDrive Magazine Collection, download the Libby app to your tablet or phone via your app store. Next, find your library using your zip code (72801) or by searching for the library “Arkansas Tech University.”
In addition to the ebooks and audiobooks you can find on Libby, you should now see the “Magazines” option. From there, search for specific keywords or browse by subject, popularity, language, or audience level.
From there, opening the magazine gives you a page-by-page view of the magazine, including articles, photographs, and even advertisements—exactly how it would look if you were flipping through one at the doctor’s office.
However, there are more features, including the ability to zoom in, search within for specific words, change the color scheme, and switch to “article” mode switching the layout to read articles by down scrolling instead of side-to-side swiping.
If you want to be notified when new issues of your favorite magazine are out, you can hit that “subscribe” button and receive notifications when a new issue is out.
Magazines not your thing? We still have ebooks and audiobooks available on the Libby app as well. Additionally, never pay for another scholarly article with help of Find It—our collection of millions of scholarly articles. If we don’t have full-text access, call upon the power of Interlibrary Loan—a service to deliver that needed PDF directly to your email.
Remember: don’t pay a fee—use the library for free! Follow us for more money-saving tips through Instagram, Facebook, and the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Best wishes for a great semester!
