• We love to help OTMS students with their research papers. We can help students find valid information sources online and in print.

     

     

     
    MAGNOLIA is an acronym.  Come to the library and tell me what ACRONYM means and tell me what MAGNOLIA stands for and I will give you Titan Cash, or maybe a better prize!

    The MAGNOLIA resource of many databases is an excellent site to begin research on a myriad of topics.   Bookmark this site on your computer at home! A password is needed to access this site from home; password for OTMS is magn0897.  If you are at school, you do not need a password.

    If your teacher says you need primary sources, informational text, or full-text journals, then MAGNOLIA is a great resource to use.  Click on the MAGNOLIA ICON ABOVE or this link:  http://library.msstate.edu/magnolia/

    MAGNOLIA was established during the May 1997 Mississippi legislative session, under the auspices of the Council on Educational Technology, when the MS Legislature appropriated funds for the purchase of databases for all MS public funded libraries.  Without this statewide project, our libraries would not have the access to such a vast number of full text journal articles. Please take advantage of these databases so that our legislators will continue funding this project.
