E-Resources

The JKM Library maintains a growing selection of electronic resources to support your research activities, all accessible with your OpenAthens login.

All of our ebooks, and many of the handbooks and encyclopedias, are also available in Primo, our online catalog. When you search, they will show up as "Available Online" and you can follow the catalog links to "View Online," which should take you to the specific book you want. You can also search specific ebook collections below.

We have a guide to using the databases to find journal articles—and especially to finding what you want in full text!

And scroll to the bottom for all sorts of new supplementary resources from the State of Illinois!

Alumni of McCormick or LSTC: check out our Resources for Alumni page for links and instructions.

NEW: All EBSCO resources now have a new look. You can watch our 10-minute video tutorial on all of the differences. Atla "Scripture Search" in particular has been made slightly more complicated to access, and we explain how to use it.

Auxiliary links to the old interface will remain until it is phased out in January 2025. 

As always, no matter which EBSCO database you click on first, you can then choose additional databases—even all of them!—and search them together. Click on "Searching:" in the new interface, or "Choose Databases" in the old.
