The most reliable way to find out if Grafton Library has access to a journal article is to search the Journal Finder. While the vast majority of our journal holdings are electronic, we do have some print and microform collections. Please see a staff member if you need to access an item in one of these collections. Remember, if we don't have access to a journal, you can use the ILL Request Form!

You can search for the item using the course reserves search. Items on reserve are available at the Circulation Desk on the main floor of the library. Each student may checkout up to three reserves at one time. Reserves check out for 4 hours and may not leave the library. If you need to watch a DVD that's on Reserve, you can check out the portable DVD player, which can be hooked up to a larger screen if desired.

You access Grafton's electronic books through the Grafton Library Discovery Service (GLDYS). If your search results, say "eBook" under the author then the item is an ebook, and you can access it by clicking on the view ebook link.  

Our Interlibrary Loan FAQ  should be able to answer any question that you may have. If your question isn't answered there, please contact our interlibrary loan coordinator.

Go the Library homepage and click on the Off Campus Access button in the left-side navigation. You will be prompted to supply your Mary Baldwin credentials. Your user name is the first part of your email (everything but the @marybaldwin.edu) and your password is the same one you use for Canvas or campus computer login. 

Having difficulty accessing our virtual resources? Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure you are entering your username without @marybaldwin.edu at the end
• Make sure you are accessing the library website directly [www.marybaldwin.edu/library], rather than through Canvas.  
  • From the library home page, you can navigate to the button on the upper right that says "Off Campus" and log in from there before beginning to search our databases.
• Try resetting your network credentials  -- see below for instructions
• Try clearing your browsing history and cache. If your passwords are saved in your browser and you reset them, the browser may be auto-filling your old password in. 
• Try using a different browser that you do not normally use (follow the process for accessing the library website above)
  • Chrome and Firefox tend to work best

If you have tried these things and are still having difficulty, it may be necessary to set up a more in-depth consultation with a librarian in-person or via Zoom so that we can guide you through the process.

You can print documents in black and white using the library's printers. Printing is free, but not unlimited. Each student may print up to 1000 pages, after which they will need to contact the Office of Information Technology at 540-840-7075. You can also print remotely. You can send the print request from any computer using your Mary Baldwin email address. Simply attach the file(s) that you wish to print to the email and send it to PrintByMail@marybaldwin.edu. It will only print out once you log on to a university printer and release it. Documents will be available for 24 hours. 

We have four library staff members you can contact! Their names, job titles, and contact information are listed below:
