Here are three easy ways to access MAGAZINES!

Here are a few of our print magazines available in the Gov. Volpe Library:
​
​
The Gov. Volpe Library subscribes to over twenty periodicals. Textbooks quickly become outdated. The library provides magazines with highly visual and current information to students and faculty.​​
Here are three easy​ ways to access periodicals:
  • Stop by the library: In an effort to keep our magazines in one place, we ask that you use library magazines in the library. You are welcome to make color copies/scans and to use the laminator. 
    ​I'm around to assist! You can also ask me to tag magazines for student use if you are looking for information on a specific topics.

  • Use the library databases: GALE has archived copies of many popular magazines. You can access it through our library website (whslibr.weebly.com/databases).
    • N.B. This will not work using a Google Search, you have to physically click the link on the library website. 

  • Sign-up for a Boston Public Library eCard to use Zinio: As residents of Massachusetts you are eligible to sign up for a Boston Public Library eCard. This card grants you access to the BPL's amazing digital collection, databases like JSTOR, and the library's digital ​magazine service called Zinio. 
    • To sign up, simply fill out your information ​here.​ You'll receive an email with your account information.
    • ​Next go to the BPL's electronic resources tab or click here.​ Click on Zinio. It'll ask you to log in with your eCard information. There is also an app for Android and Apple products (but that's something I haven't played around with quite yet).
    • Search for a magazine and enjoy!
