To save you time in checking articles out from your local library, they all have been placed under the "On-Line Articles" button on the homepage. Once you click on the desired article in the table, Acrobat Reader should process the document. To see the article better, click either on the magnifying glass or the fit to width icon provided in the menu bar. See the diagram below:
